CkoXml *xml = [[CkoXml alloc] init];

// If we wish to transfer (instead of copy) the XML from the HttpResponse to the Xml, then add the keyword "TakeResponseBody" to UncommonOptions
// This could save memory for extremely large XML responses.
resp.UncommonOptions = @"TakeResponseBody";

[resp GetBodyXml: xml];

NSLog(@"%@",[xml GetXml]);

// Note: If UncommonOptions contained "TakeResponseBody", then the response BodyStr will now be empty:
NSLog(@"%@",@"----");
NSLog(@"%@",resp.BodyStr);
