here are some examples to accomplish this:
http://www.motobit.com/tips/detpg_binarytostring/

Maybe you can use responeXML instead of responseText of the XMLHTTP 
object in your project.
See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms762275(v=vs.85).aspx 
<https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms762275%28v=vs.85%29.aspx>(section 
remarks) for some hints.

Another interesting object is the ado.stream object. I sometimes uses it 
for decoding charsets from utf-8 to unicode.
