   �u can validate the XML you get with one of the many online XML
   validators..
   Such as : [1]http://www.xmlvalidation.com/
   If the XML is not valid, you have two choices.
   1) Get the service to send back a valid XML doc.
   2) Parse the doc yourself, instead of asking HTTP API to do it.

     But if I can get that part to work the next URL call give me back
     that information (well just the first part) as shown below.
     The URL is:

     /GetMessage?id=8073fc27-93d4-42c6-9fe6-a68629785ef5
     When I put that into Firefox I get back:
     (also I see some of the XML is not correct, example is <Comments
     />)� So I am not sure if that is why I am not able to have the
     program download it.

     When I copy that same URL and put it in the program I get back:
     XML parse failed at line 1, col 17: not well-formed (invalid token)
     I guess my new question is - are then sending me messed up XML and
     that is why the program cannot load/display it in any way?� And if
     that is the case, why can I see the XML by using Firefox with no
     issues?� For the HTTP API programs to work, does the XML need to be
     a true XML document with the <?xml version="1.0"
     encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> at the top?
     Can you please tell me how to turn on the debug log?� When I was in
     the program I did see it going to write a debug log, but skipped it
     because it was not turned on.� Where do you go to turn it on?
     Thanks again,
     John Baeten
