The response content type can also be overwritten in order to retrieve HTML pages and other textual data as plain string (using {{Code|text/plain}}) or in its binary representation (using {{Code|application/octet-stream}}). With the {{Code|http:header}} element, a custom user agent can be set. See the following example:
'''Query:'''
<pre classsyntaxhighlight lang="brush:xquery">
let $binary := http:send-request(
<http:request method='get'
'Conversion to XML failed: ' || $err:description
}
</presyntaxhighlight>
