Write Python NTLM XML response to local XML file

Question

I have been looking all over to see if there is a simple way to write an NTLM response to a local XML file. How would I go about doing this?

import requests
import ntlm3 as ntlm
from requests_ntlm import HttpNtlmAuth

SITE = "website.com/_api/..."
USERNAME = 'user'
PASSWORD = 'pass'

response = requests.get(SITE, auth=HttpNtlmAuth(USERNAME,PASSWORD))

print(response.status_code)
print(response.text)

Answer 1

Assuming the NTLM response.text is a well-formed XML, simply dump the text value to file:

xmlfile = open('Output.xml', 'wb')
xmlfile.write(response_text)
xmlfile.close()

And to pretty print the output to file, consider lxml module:

import lxml.etree as ET

...

dom = ET.fromstring(response.text)
tree_out = ET.tostring(dom, pretty_print=True)

xmlfile = open('Output.xml', 'wb')
xmlfile.write(tree_out)
xmlfile.close()
