HTTP GET request for receiving binary content of XML file

I am trying to get the binary content of an XML file via HTTP, but the server just wants to give me some kind of interpreted format (which removes \ r for each \ r \ n).

My HTTP GET request is simple: "GET http: //% s% s% s HTTP / 1.0 \ r \ nConnection: Keep-Alive \ r \ n \ r \ n"

It works for extensions other than .xml. And if I change .xml to .notxml, it works.

So, I am looking for a way for binary content without any changes to the file.

Thanks in advance.

This is caused by my FTP client (FileZilla). If I transfer .nxml and rename to .xml over FTP, the file is fine. Thanks for helping me.

The problem is on the server. When you request an XML file, it looks in a table that displays the extensions in Mime-Types. In the case of the default for the mime type for XML, there is either text/xml or application/xml , both of which are considered text formats and must be translated to the end of the line. To get a binary stream for XML, you need to find a way to get the server to treat it as binary rather than text. This means changing the server configuration or using another extension that is considered binary.

This is almost certainly a Mime-Type problem. If you are using IIS, I would suggest checking:
