(Reported by Martynas Jusevičius martynas@atomgraph.com on saxon-help mailing list on 2 Nov 2020).

Saxon receives an HTTP response with content type text/html and attempts to parse it as XML, causing a failure FODC0002.

In this particular case it's an error response with HTTP status 400, but I think the same failure could occur on a success response.

At BrowserPlatfform.js line 393 we do

case "text/html":
                            // HTML types
                            response.body = http.responseXML || parse(http.responseText);
                            break;

where parse() is invoking the XML parser. This looks incorrect.
