Remarks
The results of this method are valid only after the send method has been successfully completed. The line, oServerXMLHTTPRequest.getResponseHeader("Content-Type"); returns the string "text/xml", assuming the server set "text/xml" as the content type.
The full list of header variables you can query can be accessed from the getAllResponseHeaders method.
