IXMLHttpRequest::get_responseText Method

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Represents the response entity body as a string. The XMLHTTP object tries to decode the response into a Unicode string. It assumes the default encoding is UTF-8, but it can decode any type of UCS-2 (big or little endian) or UTC-4 encoding as long as the server sends the appropriate Unicode byte-order mark. It does not process the "<?" XML coding declaration. If you know the response is going to be XML, you should use the responseXML property for full XML encoding support.
