getURL POST problems

[Jonathan Bezuidenhout]

Hi all,   I have the following problem.  My Flex app gets to a point where its work is done, and it needs to pass control to a legacy CGI application which needs to receive several variables as a POST.  Some of these variables exceed the limitthat you can have in a GET, so it must be done with a POST.   I think that getURL is the only way that I can pass control from a Flex app to a regularCGI app.  HTTPService seems like it would have been ideal, but the problemis that the result that gets sent back cannot be used as HTML display.   So I am trying to get getURL to do a POST and send these variables, but it seems rather unwilling.  At best it seems it only wants to do a GET.    I have tried a variety of methods such as getURL('SnoopServlet.jsp, "_self", "POST") according the docs that I can find - but then how do I deal with the parameters?  If I add them to the url as in getURL("SnoopServlet.jsp?aaa=bbb", "_self", "POST") then the compiler complains that "There is no property with name 'GET'"...   Can someone please give me a snippet of the proper way to do this or suggest a proper way to achieve this?   Thank you   Jonathan --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
