I'm attempting to "scrape" a web page to pull out some pertinent info. The URL looks similar to the below. http://www.someserver.com/user-info.xml?user=myusername If I paste the above into my web browser, the page comes up and displays the information. If I try "view source", I get an XML document. Not an XHTML document, but a plain XML document with just the data fields (no formatting info). However, if I use PHP fopen() to read this same URL, I get the XHTML file with all the formatting info, etc. So, somehow the web browser (this happens in FireFox and IE7) is showing something other than what I get with the plain fopen(). I'd like to get at the plain XML file with just the data fields as is shown in the browser.
Ask the owner of the website. They may have some sort of browser detection in there to show different things to search engines vs ie/firefox.
