Found my problem. I hadn't realized that when I was inspecting the value
in my Java debugger the xml had been put through a pretty-print method
which was responsible for converting the numeric entity references into
entity name references.
At least I now know where to remedy the problem.
Thanks for the help.

James,
HttpClient _never_ performs any content manipulation beyond simple byte
to char conversion
Oleg
Is there some way to configure HTTPClient to not do this? I'm
retrieving the XML content and then passing it on to another process
which
attempts to parse it and the parsing fails because the entity ©
isn't
defined. I need to have any entities defined in a numeric form
maintained
in a numeric form. My HTTPClient code looks something like this:
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
GetMethod method = new GetMethod("some url which returns XML");
method.getParams().setParameter(HttpMethodParams.RETRY_HANDLER, new
DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler(3, false));
try {
int statusCode = client.executeMethod(feed.hostConfiguration(),
method);
// ...
result = method.getResponseBodyAsString();
...
If the returned XML contains ©, the content returned by
getResponseBodyAsString contains © instead. I want the result to
be
the same content as what was sent by the server, not processed.
I'm using HTTPClient 3.0.
Thanks!
