Unfortunately, the only output I get from xdmp:document-filter() when I pass in my DLL is this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <meta name="content-type" content="application/x-exe"/> <meta name="filter-capabilities" content="none"/> <meta name="size" content="20480"/> </head> </html> No version information, unlike the one returned by my VBScript.
