There is double negation here which might be confusing, but hopefully clearer 
if you have to read the statement as 

if failed -> request "/some/uri/file.xml"
if failed -> content = ‘type=“alarm”’ 

The last part means, if the response failed to produce content with 
‘type=“alarm”’ then fail. Which is the opposite of what you want. To fix this 
negate the test,

with content != 'type="alarm"'
