i know how but in python

import requests # get it from http://python-requests.org or do 'pip install requests'

url = "http://pdfx.cs.man.ac.uk"

def pypdfx(filename):
'''
Filename is a name of a pdf file WITHOUT the extension
The function will print messages, including the status code,
and will write the XML file to <filename>.xml
'''
fin = open(filename + '.pdf', 'rb')
files = {'file': fin}
try:
print 'Sending', filename, 'to', url
r = requests.post(url, files=files, headers={'Content-Type':'application/pdf'})
print 'Got status code', r.status_code
finally:
fin.close()
fout = open(filename + '.xml', 'w')
fout.write(r.content)
fout.close()
print 'Written to', filename + '.xml'
