Eve-Central + API / XML Issues?

Did eve-central kill its XML format for API data requests?

For example. this would be one of the URL queries my Excel spreadsheet would make:

http://api.eve-central.com/api/quicklook?typeid=2073&usesystem=30000142&setminQ=5000&sethours=24

Worked perfectly up until two days ago, then it (my Excel spreadsheet that is) started throwing XML parsing errors. Checked the URL through a web browser, and also got a friend to test it as well, we both got an error page with the message:

"The requested resource could not be found."

Now when I try the URL above, it spits out a plain-text, space-delimited text file with the correct data. Tried searching this forum and Eve-central to see if theres any planned changes or known issues and couldn't find any. I'm kinda surprised noone else is having this issue - or has everyone moved over to EMDR already?

Never mind, seems to have been a temporary problem!

Don't know if there is an issue, but my API pulls for EVE-Central are not returning the right format and possibly right data. Here is what I'm seeing:

http://api.eve-central.com/api/marketstat?typeid=34&typeid=35&regionlimit=10000002

208204564915.065.552.000.705.255.43 127094751245.9315.005.401.295.905.54 336113016155.3815.000.291.615.383.94 25868046039.7511.015.000.989.8110.82 1014121842612.9020.0010.822.2012.0011.11 1275902302912.2420.000.162.7411.388.16

If you're just clicking it in the browser, you won't see the XML source in most browsers.
