encoded xml

[mlecho]

hi- i have an xml handed sent to me (perhaps in binary??) that i can not read. All the lines look something like: Ø<aœΩ`¥mˆWWGÏ“dù”Lô‚`öz+‰1ÈA9”∞"CoC·vÉKó*

is there a way i can decode this so i can read the source?

Are you getting this xml from a webservice, an application or sent directly in and EDI system? Just curious because I haven't seen anything like this before. Usually there would be some kind of documentation somewhere that indicates how to get the data if it was encrypted/encoded.

I'm equally curious where you're getting this "xml" from -- there's no standard xml encryption or encoding that will break it like this.
