[Python-Dev] How to set/update value in a xml file using requests in python

[Sum J]

Thanks Dan for your response.


I have updated the data to be sent in xml format and now I am able to
update the required fields using put request.

data= '''
<nadyn:NetAppsDyn >
  <nadyn:ProxyConfig>
   <dd:ResourceURI>web-proxy.xx.com</dd:ResourceURI>
   <dd:Port>8080</dd:Port>
   <dd:UserName></dd:UserName>
   <dd:ProxySupport>on</dd:ProxySupport>
  </nadyn:ProxyConfig>
</nadyn:NetAppsDyn>'''
