Does the server you're sending your request to have a documented REST API? Do you know what the request format is for the target server?

Does your REST endpoint support XML format? Do you know what the format of the XML needs to be?

You can send XML easily by setting the body of your HTTP request to the XML that you want to send.

For example:
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setBody('<some xml here>');
