dojo/request, nodejs and handleAs "xml" not working

[Kitson Kelly]

It appears that dojo/request + node + handleAs "xml" is not working.

I have attached a example file, that if you run under node, returns the data as a string, instead of a parsed XML document:

node lib/dojo/dojo.js load=test

The example test is the following:

require(["dojo/request", "dojo/json"], function(request, JSON){
  request.get("http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=user.getrecenttracks&user=kitsonk&api_key=b25b959554ed76058ac220b7b2e0a026", {
    handleAs: "xml"
  }).then(function(response){
    console.log(JSON.stringify(response.data));
  }, function(err){
    console.log(err);
  });
});

Given that Node does not ship with an XML parser I'm not sure this should or even could be fixed. Instead can we throw an exception when handleAs: "xml" is used?

We would accept a patch, but otherwise this won't get fixed as it's a minor issue.
