Answer 1

It is unclear from your question that whether you want to post the XML data or you want to send the XML file as an attachment to the server (An opportunity to raise a "File Download" dialogue box for a known MIME type with binary format or suggest a filename for dynamic content. Quotes are necessary with special characters).

If you need to post the XML content to the Server simply read the XML file from your code apply http header over it & send it to the server.

If you need to send XML file as a downloadable content read MIME & HTTP headers.
