Did the PHP page see the method as GET or POST? ________________________________

I posted to a PHP page that dumps the submitted value and it looks like it goes through because I get the xml back (in a single line). So what does this all mean? Can a HTTPService call over http talk to a xml-rpc page like the one used on Wordpress blogs? If you have a blog you should be able to change the url to point to your blog and get the same results.

There are two known issues with the Flash Player XML type that HTTPService does not work around correctly in 2.0. The scenario is that if an XML value is provided as the body of a POST and that value has only empty, simple content (i.e. no child elements, just the empty string), then because toString() is called on the value when serializing it, the first known issue is hit where by the root elements are unwrapped and only the simple content is sent, i.e. the empty string. The second issue is that if you try to send no content with POST, the underlying URLLoader changes this back to GET. The reason I suggest using an HTTP sniffer is perhaps while you think you've provided a correct <mx:request>, perhaps it's not being actually sent as such? How are you calling send() on the HTTP service?

It seems like it'd be simple but I can't get it to work: <mx:HTTPService id="srv" url=" http://www.judahfrangipane.com/blog/xmlrpc.php <http://www.judahfrangipane.com/blog/xmlrpc.php> " fault="{faultHandler(event)}" result="{resultHandler(event)}" resultFormat="text" method="POST" contentType="application/xml"> <mx:request> <methodCall> <methodName>metaWeblog.getPost</methodName> <params> <param><value><string>77</string></value></param> <param><value><string>visitor</string></value></param> <param><value><string>visitor</string></value></param> </params> </methodCall> </mx:request> </mx:HTTPService> The result I get is "XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only." FYI I'm calling a wordpress blog.
