+ ## Use With AFHTTPClient
+ 
+ When `AFXMLRequestOperation` is registered with `AFHTTPClient`, the response object in the success callback of `HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:success:failure:` will be an instance of `NSXMLParser`. On platforms that support `NSXMLDocument`, you have the option to ignore the response object, and simply use the `responseXMLDocument` property of the operation argument of the callback.
