i also tried code like this:

        with open('xmlfile.xml') as xml:
            r = requests.post(url, data=xml)

response from server:

    raise ConnectionError(err, request=request)
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response'))

Your code does not even compile. Show the code that you are actually using. — Tomalak

HTTP 415 is Unsupported Media Type - this suggest your request is missing or has incorrect Content-Type header. Try:

headers = {"Content-Type":"text/xml"}
r = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=xml)
