Hello everyone! 
I would like to read a xml file in order to return the content as a HTML response. I wonder if i need to parse the XML file or i can read the file as if it were an txt file. I am interested in this second way because i dont need to get part of the xml file,i just want to return every its content.
Thanks in advance...

Well xml files are text files so yes you can do open() and read just as you normally would a text file.
Thanks for the help. I have tried unsuccessfully the following:
f=open('file.xml', 'r')
req.content_type='text/html'
req.write("<html>Reading...")
line=f.readline()
req.write(line)
req.write("</html>")
I tried the same with a txt file and it works,that is why im a bit confussed.

It appears that req is an open file object of some type. Try flushing the output buffers (obj.flush()) or close the file.

Hi again. I think i know a new thing about my problem.
I actually can open xml files and read the content. But i stops reading when it finds characters like <AS>. For example,if my xml file is:
This is my xml<>
It reads fine.
But when i start to fill in the tags,it does not read them. For example,it does not read "<a>" in case my xml file content is the following
This is my xml <a>
Thanks for helping
