This doesn't seem to be what's happening here. There is a header
indicating the data is included in an attachment:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=data.osm
The html file itself does not include the OSM data, just some stuff
about the parameters of the call, copyright, etc.
If I call the xapi script using a browser it downloads the data.osm
file but if it is called from my own PHP script (on my server) I just
get the html file and not the data file.
