  1. POHow do I POST XML data to a URL via JavaScript in an Adobe AIR app?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm writing an application that downloads an XML string from a URL and <code>POST</code>s that to another URL (that's set up to handle an incoming "<code>XML</code>" field). I've got the first part right - it downloads the XML and I can <code>alert()</code> it and all that, but I'm unable to figure out how to <code>POST</code> that data to a server.</p> <pre><code>function pull() { var myLoader = new air.URLLoader(); var myRequest = new air.URLRequest('http://something/something.xml'); myLoader.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, pulled); myLoader.load(myRequest); } function pulled(evt) { if (evt.target.bytesTotal&gt;0) { // alerting shows the full string just fine alert(evt.target.data); var myLoader = new air.URLLoader(); var myRequest = new air.URLRequest('http://someplace/push.php'); myRequest.method = air.URLRequestMethod.POST; // myVars = new air.URLVariables("xml="+evt.target.data); // // alert(evt.target.data.toUpperCase()); myRequest.data = "xml="+evt.target.data; // myVars; myLoader.dataFormat = air.URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT; myLoader.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, pushed); myLoader.load(myRequest); } } </code></pre> <p>I made the 2nd server PHP <code>echo</code> the contents of the <code>xml</code> variable, but I'm just unable to get the exact contents of the XML string. There is something I'm doing wring with the <code>myRequest.data</code> and/or <code>dataFormat</code> bit.</p> <p>Can someone just figure this out? I know it's probably a simple thing, but I'm at my wit's end right now.</p> <p>This is my first AIR app.</p> <p>Another related question (or sub-question) is that...</p> <pre><code>alert(evt.target.data); // shows an alert box with the XML alert(typeof evt.target.data); // shows String alert(evt.target.data.toUpperCase()); // shows the xml converted to upper case alert(encodeURI(evt.target.data)); // shows up blank. alert(escape(evt.target.data)); // shows up blank. </code></pre> <p>Why??</p>
