You should be able to use a LzDataset to make a POST request, and then to
grab the raw data when it returns.
Which runtime are you running your app in?
Here's an example
<canvas width="100%" height="80%" debug="true">
<debug fontsize="12"/>
<dataset proxied="false" name="csv" src="http:mydata.csv" querytype="post"
request="true" ondata="canvas.showdata()"/>
<method name="showdata">
Debug.write(csv.rawdata);
</method>
</canvas>
Note, there is a bug in the proxy server for nonXML data, it will throw an
error in
the server and therefore won't return the raw data, so you need to set
proxied=false
on the dataset before making the request.
