Also, it looks like you're using a POST request to do a GET query. That
may be returning an error instead of event objects, so that could be
getting in your way. Take a look at the actual URL and try pasting it in
a browser. Also, you can try printing out the returned XML as plaintext
to help in your debugging, to make sure the problem isn't before your
query call. If you're using XPath (not sure, i'm not a .Net guy), you
may want to try /rsp/event. The advantage of building a REST-like API is
that we usually print out helpful error messages on the way.
