Corrupt XML returned from CFHTTP POST

[bmwm3smg]

I'm performig a simple POST via CFHTTP. I know the XML I'm POSTing is correct;
the target returns valid XML with one exception: when I display the ASCII value for
each character in the returned XML, the first one is consistently 65279. Below are the
first four characters of the XML. 65279 is the only unexpected character. XMLParse( )
fails unless I remove that character. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Pos = 1 : ASC = 65279 :
Pos = 2 : ASC = 60 : <
Pos = 3 : ASC = 70 : F
Pos = 4 : ASC = 105 : i

65279 = 0xFE - UTF-16 byte order mark.
