One of our data providers at MSN gave us this binary blob, which we had a decoder to run over and produce a text file, which we then transformed in something regular, did a diff, and updated the table we needed to update via SQL.<p>We begged and begged for XML support. Many releases on, they trumpeted XML support! Huzzah! The XML had a header and one huge CDATA block of the Base64 encoded blob they usually sent.<p>Thanks!
