It's hard to know what the problem is with such limited info. The first step to troubleshoot this would be inspecting the http traffic. I guess.
The best tool for this that I know of is wireshark ( http://www.wireshark.org/). It's not the most friendly though and could be a bit daunting at first. Other option is Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com/). Less powerful, but good enough for inspecting communication between your app and the rest of the world. Also, it's much more friendlier and intuitive. Install any of the above and run your app. Then check the server response to see if it rejected your request for some reason. Probably not the case here, but I once had a similiar problem (using POST or GET made no difference, though). Whenever I connected from the IDE, the server responded with some fault code (can't remember if it was 500, 403 or something like that). However, if I run the code from a browser, it worked (I was running from localhost and already had sorted out crossdomain issues). Now, the curious thing was that if I had charles running, it worked both from the IDE and the browser. So I suspected and confirmed later that the server app I was connecting to was inspecting the user-agent in the request header and explicitly rejecting flash for some dumb "security reasons" (when charles is running it proxies your http traffic and changes the user agent). Anyway, this was rare; most server side scripts / apps won't check the user agent (because this piece of data is sent by the client anyway, and no real security could be enforced just by inspecting it).
