AW: HTTP-GET of XML file

Hi Ailleen,

this works perfect, I only had to use your line from below to set the output
format and everything's fine!
Thank you so much, I can finally move on to feeding the XML stream to a
parser.
I was really stuck and you helped me out so quickly. I love the community
where people often help each other out much better than commercial support
can do, as this example has proven quite successfully.
Hope I can give something back sometime.

So long,

Markus Bäurle
