  • Yes, it's Windows XP.. how can I use this function? – Sinan Zikri Aug 27 '13 at 19:30
  • "titles, ddescription": are you sure you don't mean 'XHTML'? "An XML of an URL" would mean *any* XML file, and neither 'title' nor 'description' are standard XML elements. Also: whatever the answer, you cannot *choose* to download something "as" XML. You can only get what has been offered for download. – Jongware Aug 27 '13 at 22:24
