It's not valid XML. XML can only have a single root element. You have two, value and name. If you wrap it in a root element, then it would be valid

<data>
    <value>100</value>
    <name>a</name>
</data>

What exactly the root element name should be, I don't know. It's up to the server.

But I am passing the XML as a string – codehacker Dec 08 '16 at 09:58
And how is it handled on the server? It's the server that is sending the bad request, the client. The server is sending a Bad request probably because it's not valid XML – Paul Samsotha Dec 08 '16 at 10:01
