i highly doubt able change, or request change encoding of response xml.

well, it's broken. the iana says canonical name iso-8859-1 iso-8859-1. , iso8859_1 not legal alias it. practice internet citizenship, should request change. point out it's broken, , ask fix. practice citizenship, client should fix bug.

iso8859_1 name used, think, within java library code, name mapped iso-8859-1. usage fine, although don't understand need mapping. there people assumed internal name java uses encoding name - not true. alias known java. , erroneous belief spread other libraries , frameworks outside of java assumed incorrectly if java using iso8859_1 encoding name, must right. bottom line iso8859_1 should not used in actual xml documents iana encoding string expected.

in meantime...

if navigate same url in browser, displays xml document fine.

that's not get. using rss source:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso8859_1"?> <rss version="2.0">   <channel> <title>feedforall sample feed</title> <description>rss fascinating technology. ....</description>  ... 

i result in ie8:

to read in vbscript, need replace iso8859_1 iso-8859-1 . pretty easy using serverhttprequest object.

function urlget(url)     set xmlhttp = createobject("msxml2.serverxmlhttp.6.0")     xmlhttp.open "get", url, false     xmlhttp.send     '' treat output plain text. know may broken.     urlget = xmlhttp.responsetext end function   dim url url = "http://localhost/misc/broken.rss"  '' above url starts xml declaration of ''    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso8859_1"?> '' ... invalid, because iso8859_1 not valid '' name xml encoding.  dim urltext urltext = urlget(url)  '' replace encoding think should urltext = replace(urltext,"encoding=""iso8859_1""","encoding=""iso-8859-1""")  set doc1 = createobject("msxml2.domdocument.6.0") doc1.async = false doc1.preservewhitespace= false ' true doc1.loadxml(urltext)
