I never heard of that and I think I know why.

It is not a good habit to have invalid files like an XML file when you develop a program.

Also fixing the file permanently would require a server-side script like php. Probably what Adobe has created to give the error message may be something you are looking for.

When you create your HTTP service request, set the "resultFormat" attribute to "text". Then you'll receive a raw string, which you can parse by hand. You can use the XML and XMLLIST classes to help.

If you use resultFormat = "xml" or "object" (the default) and attempt to load an invalid XML file, you'll get an error event FaultEvent.FAULT

You must use the "text" resultFormat to get a look at the XML text.
Sample code:

httpService = new HTTPService();
httpService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,ht tpResultHandler);
httpService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT,http FaultHandler);

httpService.url = _url;
httpService.requestTimeout = timeout;
httpService.resultFormat = "text";
httpService.send();

private function httpResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
...
var textString:String = event.result

private function httpFaultHandler(event:FaultEvent):void {
...

Try it and let me know.
