This may not be a Python question.
You are sending your data
("{'ResourceURI':'web-proxy.xxx.yy.com', 'Port':8080})
to the web service under "http://192.168.75.165/DevMgmt/NetAppsDyn.xml";.
Apparently, this web service does not interpret the data in the way you
expect.
Note, that you do not send an XML document to "NetAppsDyn.xml"
(despite your `Content-type="text/xml"`). The typical (WevDAV)
"put" would require that "data" contains a complete replacement
for the object to be replaced, not just some modifications
(of course, the object might have a specialized "put" which could
support partial updates -- but apparently, in your current
situation, this is either not the case or the "put" involved
expects to get the replacement information in a different way).
I would approach your task as follows:
1. Fetch the original XML
2. Use one of Python's XML libraries (I would use "lxml")
to create the modified XML
3. "put" the modified XML to the server
