Sean -
Yes, I could - and that's what I ended up doing. In the end it was a very
easy fix.
My consternation was really caused by the fact that one COAPI tag
(contentObjectGet) worked and another didn't (contentObjectData). I guess
I'm just looking for some consistency. I admit that it was my mistake in
passing a lower-case ID (though I gotta blame some of it on Flash) but I
would like to see the COAPI tags acting the same way.
