Agreed.  We just need to detect XML exceptions (check the MIME type of 
the response via libcurl) and pass them through the error stack.

This should have been done for both WMS and WFS XMl exceptions long time 
ago...  This was one of the issues that couldn't be dealt with with 
libwww and led to the switch to libcurl in 4.0, but when I implemented 
the switch to libcurl I forgot to fix the XML exception handling.  My bad.

Can you please file a bug?
