    My guess regarding your first question: Your “401 Forbidden” is actually a “401 Unauthorized” (“Forbidden” would be a fatal error, and it has code 403). This 401 response is a normal part of the NTLM (Windows-integrated) challenge/response authentication mechanism. Your request must have correct credentials attached so it can authorize itself, then this error will go away.

    Regarding your second question — It depends. What XML do you get back? Will displaying the raw XML string be useful?
