It is the target of your URL that is in xml. unix() does not convert anything.
xmltohtml() is dedicated to the processing of Scilab's help pages. help pages
are sourced in xml. Then, various functions translate xml sources in HTML pages,
or Java pages (embedded help pages), or into PDF, etc.

Now, your target is not a XML Scilab help file. So none of the Scilab xmlto##()
is applicable to it.
