Yes, the javascript data is compiled down to swf byte codes which, when executed, recreate that data.
For example, a list of numbers [1,2,3] compiles to something like push 1 push 2 push 3 push 3 new Array or whatever the equivalent is in the SWF instruction set On Tue, Mar 25, 2008 at 10:23 AM, Gilad Parann-Nissany < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi > > In our case it can be pretty big, we do need the performance. > > So the actual response format is truly binary (SWF) and not XML at all? in > that case the content-type is correct I guess. > > or is it text wtih just the encoding set to SWF? in that case I guess we > could figure a workaround? > > Thank you! > > Gilad > > > > Gilad Parann-Nissany > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Henry Minsky" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Gilad Parann-Nissany" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: "laszlo-user" <[email protected]>, "Yazan Ghandour" < > [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Rami Khalayleh" < > [EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Anas Jadallah" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > "Elias Khalil" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 3:53:16 PM (GMT+0200) Auto-Detected > Subject: Re: [Laszlo-user] XML RPC requests return a > "application/x-shockwave-flash" data type > > The issue is that the implementation in swf was written to compile the > return data as a Flash swf binary file.
