NavigateToURL() POST Method...

Question

I am trying to submit data to an ASP page via the
navigateToURL() POST method, but when I try to reference the
request variable.. it is blank. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
script:
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest("
http://www.mydomain.com/test.asp");
var keyData:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
keyData.name = "mike";
url.data = keyData;
url.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
navigateToURL(url,"_blank");
On test.asp :
if request("name") <> "" then
response.Write request("name")
else
response.write "No Data"
end if
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I encouter the same problem, when my application is launched
from Flex Builder I can send parameters in Post to my servlet. I am
using a URLRequest and navigateToUrl. I need to navigate to the url
because the servlet send me a .doc file I must open.
When I execute the application from an IFrame, the servlet
doesn't receive any parameters (it works if I send with the GET
method). My problem is that I must use POST because the size of the
parameters could exceed the max length allowed by the get method
(1024).
Does someone have a workaround, to call navigateToUrl with
the POST method when the swf file is hosted in a IFrame ? If there
is not, is it a bug of flex, of the flash player or a security
restriction ?
Thanks,
David
