Hi Tom,
first of all, I'm not a expert for client/server communication, but I
will try my best. :-)
I looked also into the implementation on qx.io2.HttpRequest. I saw that
the method send() set the content-type to
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" if the "POST" method is used. This
assume, that the ampersand must be encoded if the ampersand is part of
your value. [1]
Please try this:
req.setData("data=" + encodeURIComponent(data));
I hope that this solve your problem.
Cheers,
Chris
