what wrapper does msxml2 require in CGI to work

[Guimar]

I have a CGI application that needs to return xml in VsC6.0.
If I send the data in an html wrapper the javascript sees it but cant parse
it.
I Cant find any documentation what the preamble needs to look like so msxml2
can recognize the response as xml and parse the data.

If I send the XML without a header I get back an HTTP header 500 error

If I have the CGI program save the data to a file and use another
javascript call to request the textfile it reads and parses correctly.

If you send XML then use an XML MIME type for the HTTP Content-Type
header e.g.
Content-Type: application/xml
or
Content-Type: text/xml

That way a HTTP client receiving the HTTP response knows to parse it as XML.
