Post method in angular giving error 406 (Not Acceptable)

I am trying to call post XML data in angular & get posted XML in python(Django) and save it to mongodb, but its giving mi error 406 (Not Acceptable) and detail":"Could not satisfy the request Accept header.

In component.ts : 

let headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/xml');
headers.append('Accept', 'application/xml');
let body = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?> " + 
           "<note> " + 
           "<to>Tove</to> " + 
           "<from>Jani</from> " + 
           "<heading>Reminder</heading> " + 
           "<body>Dont forget me this weekend!</body> " + 
           "</note>";
this.http.post(url, body, { headers: headers })
  .subscribe(data => {
    console.log(data);
  });

In views.py 

def post(self, request):
  original_response = request.data
  save_response = LenderResponse(lender_response=str(original_response))
  return Response(original_response)

406: Not Acceptable means that the server cannot return the data in the format that you requested using the Accept header.

You are passing the Accept: application/xml header, but for some reason, your server does not support that response type. you should either pass a different header with a format the server knows how to work with or change the server code to support the application/xml response type.

For Django (as it looks to be your server framework of choice), you should use the REST Framework XML plugin.
