This is something I haven't tried, so you may have to experiment a bit.

The dataGrid is populated from a dataProvider. One possible dataProvider is the HTTPService. The relevant parameters would be:

contentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded|application/xml"

resultFormat="object|array|xml|e4x|flashvars|text"

Since you can specify that the resultFormat is text, you should be able to use that.
