Need to get the genuine xml data (not the html interpreted one) [message #779951]

I am using an SWT browser to query a Livelink server (OpenText).
I assume that IE (Internet Explorer) is running behind the scene.
This OpenText server may answer with .xml when queried with an Object Action such as XmlExport.
The .xml data is translated by the web browser and using the getText method I get the translated html.
How can I obtain the original xml data as I could get in the browser if I would do mouse right click and then in the context menu, select view source code (of the web page).

any help would be greatly appreciated
Robert

In order to get the source XML file, I have "patched" the IE class - adding the following method :

public String getInnerXmlText() {
/* get the document object */
int[] rgdispid = auto.getIDsOfNames(new String[] {PROPERTY_DOCUMENT});
Variant pVarResult = auto.getProperty(rgdispid[0]);
if (pVarResult == null || pVarResult.getType() == COM.VT_EMPTY) {
System.err.println("swt IE: error while fetching the document: ");
if (pVarResult != null) pVarResult.dispose ();
return ""; //$NON-NLS-1$
}
//IHTMLDocument2
OleAutomation htmlDocument = pVarResult.getAutomation();
pVarResult.dispose();

rgdispid = htmlDocument.getIDsOfNames(new String[] { "body" });
pVarResult = htmlDocument.getProperty(rgdispid[0]);
if (pVarResult == null || pVarResult.getType() == COM.VT_EMPTY) {
if (pVarResult != null) pVarResult.dispose ();
return ""; //$NON-NLS-1$
}

// IHTMLElement
OleAutomation htmlElement = pVarResult.getAutomation();
rgdispid = htmlElement.getIDsOfNames(new String[] { "innerText" });
pVarResult = htmlElement.getProperty(rgdispid[0]);
if (pVarResult == null || pVarResult.getType() == COM.VT_EMPTY) {
if (pVarResult != null) pVarResult.dispose ();
return ""; //$NON-NLS-1$
}
String innerText = pVarResult.getString().trim();

return (innerText);

}
