why bottle does not show the page I returned?

I am new to bottle. I have searched for the answer but could not get any.

Is there anyway to load a page without redirect?

The code is like this:

from bottle import get, run, template

@get('/list/item')
def listItems():
    r = requests.get('my/url/which/works/')
    return r.content

if __name__ == '__main__':
    run(host='localhost', port=8080 )

and the webpage is empty. I have also tried return r.text, return template(r.content), return str(r.content), return str(r.content.decode('utf-8')), and 

nf = urllib.urlopen('my/url/whick/works')
return nf.read()

none of them returns the page I want.

However, if I write this return r.content[0], it works. the page will show the first letter, which is '<'. But if I write return r.content[0:100], it returns a empty page again.

If I run the requests in command line, this is what it returns:

>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.get('my/url/which/works/')
>>>
>>> r.content
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> \n<body copyright="...>\n</body>\n'

Is that possible that anyone can help about this? Thank you very much.

Your question doesn't specify what you expect to see when your code works as expected, but this may help you:

from bottle import get, run, template, response

@get('/list/item')
def listItems():
    r = requests.get('my/url/which/works/')
    response.content_type = 'text/plain'  # added this
    return r.content

...

The only change is that your webserver will now be setting the content type of the response to text/plain, which should make your browser render the page.

Longer term, if (as I'm inferring from your question) you intend to return XML responses, then I suggest either installing a browser plugin (here's an example), or, better yet, use curl or wget to see the precise response. This will help you debug your server's responses.
