Hi Rjcarr, Sorry for such a slow responce, I didn't see your post until today, and I've been sidetracked for a couple of weeks. It turns out that this is a known bug, see http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3795. I was actually able to resolve this by extending the XMLHttpRequest class and by making some modifications to the create method.
