HTTPService HTML Encoding/Parameter Issues
You can file a bug report here: http://www.macromedia.com/go/wish.
Most of these you can workaround by
dropping into ActionScript. Just use [] syntax to update your request
properties. E.g., abc.request[“param.1”] = 20;

Here are some issues we've
encountered in Flex 1.5 when trying to
use
it with some of our web applications via HTTP:
1)
Cannot use parameter names in HTTPService if parameter has a "."
in
the name as in:
<mx:HTTPService
url=""
href="http://localhost/Lighthammer/Illuminator?QueryTemplate=Demo/">http://localhost/Lighthammer/Illuminator?QueryTemplate=Demo/
Historica...
Query&Content-Type=text/xml"
id="abc">
<mx:request>
<Param.1>20</Param.1>
</mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>
2)
There does not appear to be any way to pass characters that
should
be HTML encoded (such as the equals sign below) using the
<mx:request>
technique (also note that the parameter name is XXX,
but
the "right side value" should be the string "A=whatever",
properly
encoded)...
<mx:HTTPService
url=""
href="http://localhost/Lighthammer/Illuminator?QueryTemplate=Demo/">http://localhost/Lighthammer/Illuminator?QueryTemplate=Demo/
Historica...
Query&Content-Type=text/xml"
id="abc">
<mx:request>
<XXX>A={mydataboundthing.value}</XXX>
</mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>
<<This
causes the compiler to freak out>>

<mx:HTTPService

Query&Content-Type=text/xml"
id="abc">
<mx:request>
<XXX>A%3D{mydataboundthing.value}</XXX>
</mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>

causes the ampersand to be "double encoded" >>
