Yeah still no dice...
Thanks for the suggestion. One minor note is that replacing "\n" does
nothing, but replacing "\r" at least replaces the line feed with
something else. However, replacing "\r" with either "\n" or "\r\n"
yields the same result.
It seems apparent that the problem lies between FLEX and .NET, the
soap packet in the Network monitor [in Flexbuilder] clearly shows
carriage returns of some sort. (both before I did the replace test you
mentioned previously and after, and both with "\n" and "'\r\n")
I pared down the .NET webservice test so it just takes the incoming
request and returns the entire input text as the response, and the
Network monitor shows my response string without carriage returns in
every case.
For time's sake I am going with a hack, replacing the "\n" with
something silly like "|WHEREISMYCARRIAGERETURN|" in FLEX, then
replacing "|WHEREISMYCARRIAGERETURN|" with "\n" in the webservice.
This works just fine (I tested it), with the exception of the shame
heaped upon me like so many burning coals.
I do want to know if anyone else has encountered this, and what they
have done to get around it.
