from lxml import etree
headers = { "Accept":"application/xml", "Authorization":"Bearer " + token }
data = etree.tostring(etree.parse("request.xml"), xml_declaration=True, encoding="UTF-8")
data = data.decode('utf8')
url  = "https://" + sbcip + "/rest/v1.1/configuration/bootparams"
resp = requests.put(url, headers=headers, data=data)
