Progress: Using zope.publisher.browser.TestRequest is probably the way
to go:
>>> request = TestRequest(data = xmlfile.read())
>>> request.method = 'POST'

The doc for zope.testbrowser suggests [1] you can generate a POST like
this:
>>> browser.post(import_view, '<?xml version=1.0?>',
content_type='application/xml')
Is there something similar in plone.testing?
When i just use the browser.open method as described [2], i get:
"TypeError: cannot concatenate
'str' and 'dict' objects" [3]
A pdb shows that in testbrowser/testing.py", line 75, "body" is
actually a dictionary:
(Pdb) body
{'body': '<?xml version=1.0?>', 'content-type': 'application/xml'}
Can i create a post request with xml data in plone.testing?
The background is that i want to create a view that accepts HTTP
requests with XML data, from which content is to be created. Maybe
there's an easier way for that?
I'll now look into the tests for Plone's File content type, probably
that has some useful pointers as well.
