A successful response contains the expression transformed into XML.

The request above would result in the following response:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Content-type: text/xml

    <?xml version="1.0" ?>
    <expr>
        <text>'Vin Number'&gt;71006</text>
        <gt>
            <var>Vin_number</var>
            <int>71006</int>
        </gt>
    </expr>
