Here are some of the things I've tried. Note all the different effects
for what appears to be equivalent code.
<canvas>
<script>
System.security.loadPolicyFile("https://rest.mydomain.com/crossdomain.xml";);
</script>
<!-- NOTE: src is needed in order to get nsprefix to work -->
<dataset name="dssend" proxied="false" nsprefix="true" src="https:"/>
<node name="datactl">
<method name="send">
var ds = dssend;
var x = '<![CDATA[<foo>bar</foo>]]>';
ds.setAttribute('src', 'https://rest.mydomain.com/foos');
ds.setQueryParams(null); // clear query params
ds.setAttribute('querytype', 'POST');
// Sends "sid=abcdefg" as body, very odd. x is NOT sent.
// ds.setQueryParam('sid', 'abcdefg');
// ds.setPostBody(x);
// Sends encoded x, odd again.
// BUT if the above ds.setQueryParams(null) is
// removed it is sent as is (i.e. correctly).
// ds.setPostBody(x);
// Sends correct x (even with ds.setQueryParams(null)).
// ds.setQueryParam('lzpostbody', x);
// Sends correct x, but no sid in query params.
ds.setQueryParam('sid', 'abcdefg');
ds.setQueryParam('lzpostbody', x);
ds.doRequest();
</method>
</node>
<button text="Send">
<handler name="onclick" args="v">datactl.send();</handler>
</button>
</canvas>
