[Laszlo-user] HTTP verbs for RESTful applications

[Henry Minsky]

The SWF runtime uses either the Flash XML.sendAndLoad method to send data to
the server (for POST) or LoadVars.sendAndLoad(for GET).

As far as I know only GET and POST are supported by the Flash runtime.

The API for setting request headers in OpenLaszlo 4 is on LzDataset, the
setHeader() method, which takes a key and a value.


There  didn't  used to be any way to set header fields prior to Flash 8 I
believe, but as  of Flash version 8 they have been added to the  Flash API
for LoadVars and XML.

In OpenLaszlo 4 setting request headers is only implemented
for DHTML.  It would be pretty easy to add to SWF, now that Flash supports
the addRequestHeader() method on LoadVars and the XML class. I'll file a
feature request for that.
