Problem with adobe air ajax PUT request

Question

Hi,
Sorry for my english.
I would like to send a XML document to a server with AJAX
XmlHttpRequest Object.
I use the PUT method.
Adobe Air sends the PUT request without the contents and set
the contents-length header to 0.
If I replace the PUT method by a POST method Adobe Air sends
the request with the document, but the service on my server do not
allow POST requests.
If I open the same page with Firefox, IE and Safari, all
works fine.
I do not understand why Adobe Air is not able to send my xml
document with a PUT request but he can if I replace the method PUT
by a POST ?!?
I cannot change the implementation of the remote service so I
need to send a PUT request.
I see an old topic here (
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=641&threadid=1309642#47 47452)
speaking about my problem but I do not the right to add a message
to the thread.
Somebody can help me, please ?

tzeng,
The web server is a tomcat.
Maybe the server is not configured to manage POST request or
the service does not support the POST request (only PUT and GET).
The AJAX code :
quote:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
try {
netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserRead");
} catch (e) {}
// With Adobe Air, the following code Adobe AIR sends the PUT
request without the document (in the data object).
// if I replace "PUT" by "POST" all works fine
xhr.open("PUT", url, true);
xhr.onreadystatechange = function () {
// my code [....]
xhr.send(data);
Thanks.
