Hello all.

I'm receiveing something unusual when I download an XML file from my client site and they don't seem to know why.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
 <string xmlns="http://xxxx.page.com/webservices">
<root>
<Response>
<FileID>2153</FileID>
<FileDate>2008-05-29 14:52:10.980</FileDate>

It looks like the content of an XML file but it's a character string.

Am I missing something that will formation this to correct XML format?

Any helpful input is appreciated.
