That is not what the documentation says: If the object is a ByteArray object, the binary data of the ByteArray object is used as POST data. For GET, data of ByteArray type is not supported. Also, data of ByteArray type is not supported for FileReference.upload() and FileReference.download().
from http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/flash/net/URLRequest.html#data I was doing a POST with a ByteArray as the data. Again, this works correctly under Windows and OS X, so I'm pretty sure this is a Player bug under Linux. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -----Original Message----- From: jitendra jain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] URLRequest, ByteArray, and the 0 byte Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 09:13:59 +0530 (IST) All the request data that is send is String.
