Readers,
A new file is trying to be created, with a html form using the element 'select'. The objective is to select from a menu and return a new html page after processing of the xquery function.
From the web page about http requests
(http://docs.basex.org/wiki/RESTXQ#HTTP_Methods), where is the content type to be written in the xqm file?

module namespace page = 'http://basex.org/modules/web-page';
(:~
: This function generates the welcome page.
: @return HTML page
:)

</option>
</select>
<input

/>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
};
declare
%rest:path("/form")
%rest:GET
function page:post()
{
let $x := fn:doc("xmldatabasefile.xml")/bookstore/book/title[contains(text(),'Everyday
Italian')]/parent::*
return $x
};
declare
%rest:path("/put")
%rest:PUT("{$body}")
function page:put($body)
