Not without changing the code, sorry.  You can use HTTP_url_post() (or 
HTTP_url_post_raw) to get the response as an XML document instead of 
having HTTPAPI parse it.  Or you can use HTTP_url_post_xml() to have it 
parse it... unfortunately, there's no "best of both worlds" (at present)

You could call both routines in succession, but that'd make two requests 
to the server, which may be a problem, depending on the situation.

Your only other alternative is to modify the ParseXML subprocedure of the 
HTTPXMLR4 source member in HTTPAPI.  This routine gets called every time 
any new data arrives off the wire from the server.  Right now, it feeds it 
into Expat, but you could modify it to write it to a file as well....
