XMLHTTP Strip

I'm using XMLHTTP to perform a simple screen scraping job.
When I try to have it "scrape" lines with embeded CSS declarations, it
renders them incorrectly, stripping the leading period. Consequently, my CSS
doesn't work.Here's how I'm calling it, but I don't think my implementation is the
problem.

Dim srvXmlHttp
Set srvXmlHttp = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
srvXmlHttp.open "GET", TearURL, false
srvXmlHttp.send()
If srvXmlHttp.status <> 200 Then
Response.Write "No Server Response"
Response.End
End If
Dim strRetval5
strRetval5 = srvXmlHttp.responseText
