The quoting thing is an escape hatch. There are strange edge cases where you might need it. Generator is optimized for use with JSON. XML and form-data SHOULD get built out, but almost no work has been done with them.
See script: HTTP BaseElements( {request} ).
The default handling of the response body for "other" content-types (see line 162) is:
I'm not sure when there's a valid case to return the $responseBody quoted, but at least in this case it causes problems where the content-type is text/xml.
Sample $responseBody returned from API:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rsp stat="ok" version="1.0"> <api_key>asdfasdfasfda</api_key></rsp>
Note: there are multiple Char(10) characters that are not visible in the text (above).
Here's what it gets converted to:
"<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><rsp stat=\"ok\" version=\"1.0\"> <api_key>kasjf;lskdfj;asldjk</api_key></rsp>"
When this gets added to the JSON object (line 177), the result is "?", and the custom function returns the following error: "SyntaxError: eof or line terminator while parsing string literal (line 3)."
I added another test at line 161 for a content-type of text/xml, with the following code:
Note: this is almost the same as the code above, except it doesn't quote the result and also converts line feeds (i.e., Char ( 10 )).
