HTTP Adapter issue

Question

I am using an HTTP adapter to send a message from XI to a url http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn/sdn.xml
When I make a request to this url, my response should be a string of xml data.  This is a list of people / nations to whom my company cannot sell its products.
The problem is that an HTTP adapter always sends a request method (GET or POST), but this website cannot accept a method.  (The error is HTTP 405 method not allowed)  The only way to retrieve the data is just to make a connection and then read the response stream.
If you know java then you know exactly what I am talking about.
I wrote a small java program that gets the data from this website, but I cannot find a way to do this with the HTTP adapter.
Here is my code
public static void main(String[] args)
    try
       String CompleteUrl = "http://www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn/sdn.xml";
       URL url = new URL(CompleteUrl);
       HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
       connection.setUseCaches(false);
       connection.setDoOutput(true);
       connection.connect();
       BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
       String inputLine;
       while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
            System.out.println(inputLine);
       in.close();
      catch (Exception ex) {System.out.println(ex.getMessage());}
So all I am doing here is making a connection and reading the response stream.
The HTTP adapter always sends a GET or POST and that is not accepted by this website
Thanks

Hi Vad,
Have you considered implement/import your Java function into XI as internal mapping or imported archive? That way you can easily retrieve the information you need (directly from the URL you mention here) and further process it in XI.
Thanks,
Rob.
