Hi there,

I’m reading a lot of REST for adding web services to my web app, but I’m  
pretty newbie to all this an I have some doubts. I need my app to admit  
xml requests, but all I have read about REST it gets just strings in a  
URL. Is there any way to make it get XML files? I guess there is a way,  
but I can’t find it.

Thanks in advance 🙂
