Hi,
With firebug, grab the url of the getFeature request and so the whole
thing manually, something like that (untested and I'm not sure about the
.v2 part) :
var oFeatures;
OpenLayers.loadURL(szURL, '', this, parseResponse);
parseResponse = function(response) {
var oFormat = OpenLayers.Format.GML.v2();
oFeatures = oFormat.read(response);
}
// do what you want with your features that are unbounded to any layer.
Hope this helps,
Alexandre
