Here's straight from the docs:
The <mx:HTTPService> tag accepts the following tag attributes:
<mx:HTTPService
Properties
concurrency="multiple|single|last"
contentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded|application/xml"
destination="DefaultHTTP"
id="No default."
method="GET|POST|HEAD|OPTIONS|PUT|TRACE|DELETE"
resultFormat="object|array|xml|e4x|flashvars|text"
showBusyCursor="false|true"
makeObjectsBindable="false|true"
url="No default."
useProxy="false|true"
xmlEncode="No default."
xmlDecode="No default."
Events
fault="No default."
result="No default."
/>
contentType="application/xml" - that'll get you what you need :D
