OK this is a long shot, but the endpoint gives me the correct response
when I paste the http call into the browser . When I make the same
call from the document function I get a response from the application
saying it couldn't find any records.

I've escaped the only apostrophe in the http call. Is there any reason
why I should be getting a different response when calling via XSLT?
