cmd app and xml

[kaklis]

Hi there,
i'm writing a console app using the cmd library. I also use
xml.dom.minidom to parse an xml file that i get as a response to an
HTTP Post request.
with
data = response.read()
i get the xml response from the server.
i then feed the parser with that data.
myDoc = parse(data)
but it doesn't work.
To make it work i open an xml file and the save the data to that file.
myDoc = parse('test.xml')
that worked.
But i don't want to use the local xml file?
What am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
A.

Note that "it doesn't work" is not a very complete description of the
actual problem.

Not reading the docs?

There is a parseString() function that does what you want.
