HTTP POST with XML with HTTPService

Question

Hi,
I need to be able to send an HTTP POST request to a server I
have on Tomcat. In the body of the POST Request I need to have the
following:
<setView domain="someDomain" view="macro" />
We have tried the following using the HTTPService, but with
no such luck
<mx:HTTPService id="setViewHTTPService" url="{serverURL}"
resultFormat="object" contentType="application/xml"
method="POST">
<mx:request>
<setView domain="abc" view="xyz" />
</mx:request>
</mx:HTTPService>
Is there a way for us to specify the body of the HTTP Post
using HTTPService, or a different class for that matter.

Answer 1

var variables:URLVariables = new
URLVariables("name=Franklin");
//or variables.name = "Franklin";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = "
http://www.[yourdomain
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = variables;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
try
loader.load(request);
catch (error:Error)
trace("Unable to load URL");
function completeHandler(event:Event):void
trace(event.target.data.welcomeMessage);
This is in the help documentation and what I generally use.
