<p>You would probably want to use an Application Server behind the
Web Server (nginx). Then you would use the nginx to proxy the
request to the application server, where you can write code in the
language that the application server supports (for example, I use
Lucee as an application server, but many people use PHP or JSP or
a bunch of other technologies).</p>
<p>In the application server you can do whatever you want with the
request, e.g. read request parameters and build an XML document on
the fly, and send it back to nginx which will send it back to the
client.</p>
<p>nginx is a web server, similar in function to apache httpd or
IIS, but much better in my opinion (and in the opinion of most
users on this list, I would think), but if you want to serve
dynamic content then you should have an application server behind
it.<br>

Hi Jeff,
Thank you very much.
I have requirement that application should "support webserver which
includes xml and save xml file to filesystem"
Does it mean that it actually should " serve a static (xml) file from
the file" (the second option you mentioned).
If yes - can you give some hints about it or where to read further about it ?
Does it mean it just save and retrieve file parsing it to other
commands ? (I have read somewhere that uploading a file parse the
file, so I am a bit confused here)
I am new with nginx, still learning it.
Many thanks,
Ran
Nginx does support XML just fine, its all a matter of what you want

Hello,
I am new with web servers and nginx.
I would like to ask if nginx support xml , and what does it mean to
upload xml to web server ?
Does it just keep the xml as file in some directory , or does it do
parse the xml file and do some actions ?
Thank you,
Ran
