You may need to specify a query that returns everything. Without  
seeing the metadata, I can only give a general suggestion:

Assume that the key field within the city class is "citykey". Then  
make your query (citykey=.ANY.)

If you want to try it with your http statement above, it would be  
something like:

http://pure.reilrets.com:6103/Search.ashx? 
QueryType=DMQL2&Class=city&Format=STANDARD-XML&SearchType=city&Query=% 
28citykey%3D%2EANY%2E%29

Hope that helps.

Regards,
