That would send a single form field, VALUES, with a single value
containing something that's not a string. But sending data via HTTP
requires that you use strings. In the simplest case, you'd at least
have to convert the array to a string to store it within the single
form field. This kind of thing is a fairly common problem with web
applications - you typically have to serialize your data to send via
HTTP, then deserialize the sent data to use it as an object that's not
a string.
Normally, as an occasional Flex guy, I end up using AMF which includes
serialization/deserialization functionality to handle this for you.
