Can you point me to that technote? Because there's simply NO SUCH THING as a "hybrid" format. An HTTP request uses one of the standard HTTP verbs (GET, POST, HEAD, etc). If you want to provide an HTTP request body, you use HTTP POST. I'm more of a Flex guy, so I don't really use sendAndLoad, but if I recall correctly you specify whether it's a GET or a POST as an optional argument if you're using loadVars, and it's always POST if you use XML.sendAndLoad. Perhaps their Java app has some sort of HTTP redirect in front of it? I don't know what happens when you get a redirect in a case like this. A traffic sniffer like Wireshark is your friend for things like this.
