We are reading data from CSV feed. we are creating XML from that CSV feed. Now we want to pass this XML file as a payload to HTTP client connector. we are using HTTP REST API to connect one of our target application. please guide me how to pass the XML payload in to POST method and also how to parse the return value to display.

In general it is considered rude just to post a request like yours as it clearly shows that you have not spent time searching for a solution i.e. done your homework. You should spend a little time reading here : http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Oh no... What did you do?
OK, that was a joke, but there are still many variants that could generate this error, such as when you do not map the http.body properly.
Yes, probably you did not make a mistake in data mapping, but hey, I can say you did by just viewing this 'limited' input of information.
Rgds. YN.

Now, let my try using my phychic ability...
Your AL design is: script (EmptyScript) --> connector (HTTPClientConnector) --> script (ParseReturnXMLPayload).
So, probably you construct the XML message in the script, outside of the HTTPClientConnector, but then you put XML parser in the HTTPClientConnector too, which become a double parsing process.
How about running it without any parser in the HTTPClientConnector?

Thank you very much.Its working fine now
Now try to read through the chain of messages here...

1.There is no clear vision of the problem
2.There is no clear vision of the solution

I am glad that YN through his psychic skill seems to have helped you - but the information value of this thread is (unless you are as skilled as YN) obvious very low.

It is not of value saying that things works now - you should tell the people here that is trying to help you on their own time what the problem and solution was - then you have not only received help - you have also provided a solution that may help people doing their homework in the future...

Again - read here : http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
