XSLT issue with reading in non-xml data - xslt

Question

I am newbie to XSLT.
I have a requirement to read a URL and convert some of its values into XML.
I wrote a XSLT that has to take URL as the input value and create a XML file from some of the content of the URL value.
When I debugged the XSLT in XMLSPY, I noticed that the URL value is not being picked up by inputValue variable in the below code. I am not sure if my approach to input the URL and the template match are wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Input to XSLT:
http://host:port/abc/xyz1/6xyz6?qq=123&pp=3
Here the XSLT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:nnc="Nnc" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions">
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="inVal" select="xs:string(http://host:port/abc/xyz1/6xyz6?qq=123&pp=3)"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:variable name="inputValue" select="$inVal"/>
<xsl:if test="string-length($inputValue)=0">
<xsl:message terminate="yes">
inputValue is blank
</xsl:message>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:variable name="value" as="xs:string" select="substring-after($inputValue, 'abc/' )"/>
<xsl:variable name="tokenizedValues" select="tokenize($value,'/')"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$tokenizedValues">
<xsl:if test="position() = 1">
<id>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</id>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The desired XML output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<id>6xyz6</id>
<qq>123</qq>
<pp>123</pp>

Well if you want to pull in a text file then with XSLT 2.0 and later you can do that but not by simply using a URL, you need to call the unparsed-text function e.g.
<xsl:variable name="inputData" as="xs:string" select="unparsed-text('http://example.com/foo')"/>
See http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#unparsed-text, depending on the encoding of your text document you need to add a second parameter when calling the function.
