Thanks Matt,
 
It is working with LoadVars.  For some reasonI thought this would load variables from the server into my app.

So you're tryingto navigate the browser window as you submit this form?  I think you're looking for LoadVars.send().  Check that out in the ActionScript Core Classes section of the docs.

Subject: [flexcoders] getURL POST problems

 

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 toa legacy CGI application which needs to receive several variables as a POST.  Some of these variables exceed the limit that 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 regular CGI app.  HTTPService seems like it would have been ideal, but the problem is that the result that getssent back cannot be used as HTML display.

 

So I am trying to get getURL to doa 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
