RE: [flexcoders] AS HTTPService ignoring method propety

[Matt Chotin]

Ah, I believe HTTPService does a for..in loop over the parameters, and if you use a strongly typed class the for..in won’t return anything.  Then when you try to send no parameters to a POST request it will be turned into a GET by the Player.   We should make sure that’s mentioned in the docs (or look into changing that behavior…).   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of James Polanco Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 6:53 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] AS HTTPService ignoring method propety   Hey all, I am using the ActionScript HTTPService and I found an issue with it. I feel its a bug, but I may have been "misusing" the functionality and I got away with it until I pushed too far. Here is the problem/issue: I have a JSP app that I am calling via HTTP that returns XML data. One of the services requires that the data comes in via POST and not GET. No biggie, just set the method propert... or so I thought. When I called the app it kept coming back with "" and after looking at the HTTP headers we realized it was always coming in as a GET even though I explicitly set it to POST. This is where things started to get odd... some of my service calls (all routed through the same service code) came out as POSTs and some as GETs. I was able to track down the cause and it was all based around the format of the object that I was passing to the request property. For example, if I did it this way my call became a POST (as desired) myService.request = {zip: "94103}; If I created a custom VO class that had public properties that matched the required parameters it converts to GET on the call(protocode): class MyZipVO { public var zip:String = "94103"; } ---- var temp:MyZipVO = new MyZipVO(); myService.request = temp; I didn't catch this at first because my previous services worked as either GET or POST but once I tried to access the one that required POST it all blew up. Anyway, I figured it out and I can work around it, but any idea on why this fails or if this should work in the first place?
