ok...took a couple of re-reads of the question, before i understood what
you were asking!  brain's going rather slow at the moment! :>

in answer to your question, i don't know for sure.  i think you just have
to use:

   objGET.Load(request)

as you're not loading an xml string.

from the ms xml docs:

   oXMLDOMDocument.load(xmlSource)

   xmlSource - Indicator of the object that specifies the source for the
               XML document. The object can represent a URL, a Request
               object, an IStream, a SAFEARRAY, or a DOMDocument object.
   Remarks:    If xmlSource is an ASP Request, object load Reads and parses
               the data from the Request object.

you should be able to see what's in objGET by a simple:

   Response.Write Server.HTMLEncode(objGET.xml)

hth...somewhat!
