I found another post on this site that mentioned
Flex's
internal "POST" / "GET" logic. After some testing, I
discovered
that, even though I specify "POST", Flex thinks it knows better. I
checked the request on the web server and, sure enough, it sends the
request as a "GET"!!
To be blunt, this sucks. I'm not sure why Flex has this behaviour
and HOPE this is a bug (not a feature). I will keep trying
different things and looking for more explicit examples. I'll post
any relevent infomration I find to this thread.
Thanks for the reply.
