Thanks Matt - that solved the problem. Wish I had known earlier as I spent
quite some time trying to figure it out.

On the reverse side I am doing a dojo.rawXhrPost from the client side and
sending data to server in JSON format as postData : "{foo : 'bar'}"

How do you access that in the Zend Framework? The $_POST[] array doesn't
seem to have the posted data.

Thanks
