Hi Kevin, [I'm cc'ing this to laszlo-user, in case other people have similar questions or want to chime in with suggestions]
There are a couple of ways to post raw data back to the server. With the 4.2 lz.dataset API, there is a new call setPostBody, which takes a string which will become the contents of the post. There were some issues with this in SOLO mode in swf8, due to the fact that there was not actually any Flash API for a raw post, so the data ended up having to be XML-escaped. However, in SWF9, raw data should be post-able via this API, in either proxied or SOLO mode. You can serialize a dataset to a string via the dataset.serialize() call, so you would have something like mydataset.setPostBody(mydataset.serialize()) The 'old' way of setting a raw post contents was to set a magic query arg called 'lzpostbody', you may see references in the documentation to that, but that mechanism is deprecated (or will be soon). There is a lower level (non-public) kernel API, LzHTTPLoader, which is analogous more or less to browser XMLHTTPRequest, but the intent was that lz.dataset should provide a way for the developer to pass straight XML, so I want to make sure it works. If there's some problem with the lz.dataset API that is preventing you from getting raw XML post to work, I definitely want to know about it, so please give this a try and tell me what happens.
