XMLHttpRequest responseXML "swallowing" "\" characters (from Windows file paths)

Hello Dashboard Gurus:

I'm using XMLHttpRequest to fetch data that includes Windows style UNC file paths which I then need to repost in a URL. The problem is that the paths contain the backslash character which is being treated as an escape, as far as I can see:

Here's the SOAP that is returned:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/ envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";>
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:GetDataResponse soapenv:encodingStyle="http:// schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:ns1="http://DefaultNamespace";>
<GetDataReturn xsi:type="xsd:string">NP- APP2multivujimhallyAl8cklWqGbqdtAXh60dyw1017200515381746822627.m ov</GetDataReturn>
</ns1:GetDataResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

The data I'm looking for in this case should be:

NP-APP2\multivu\jimhall\yAl8cklWqGbqdtAXh60dyw\10172005153817468 \22627.mov

If I look at the returned SOAP message using a packet sniffer, it looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/ envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http:// www.w3.org/2001
/XMLSchema-instance">
<soapenv:Body>
<ns1:GetDataResponse soapenv:encodingStyle="http:// schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
encoding/" xmlns:ns1="http://DefaultNamespace";>
<GetDataReturn xsi:type="xsd:string">NP- APP2«03»multivu«03»«03»«03»«04»jimh
all«04»5dP2lkP9iNwhry4oRN2Ogw«04»09292005182614500«04»22480_broll.mov</G etData
Return>
</ns1:GetDataResponse>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Does anyone have any idea about this?

John
