[Laszlo-user] Is it possible change the content-type with POST request? (Playing with Rails1.2.3)

[togawa manabu]

Thanks,

  I'm using 4.0.3 both DHTML and SWF compile, and proxied mode.

this is small test app.

-----rails side -----
(create REST-full app just in few command)

 >rails lzxtest -d sqlite3
 >cd lzxtest
 >script/generate scaffold_resource  
customer :first_name:string :last_name:string
 >rake db:migrate
 >script/server

----lzx side ---

<canvas>
   <attribute name="baseurl" value="http://127.0.0.1:3000"  
type="string" />
   <dataset name="customeraction" ondata="Debug.write(this)"  />

   <button text="createdata" onclick="canvas.request('post', '/ 
customers.xml')" />

   <method name="request" args="method, url"><![CDATA[
     var p = new LzParam();

     switch(method){
      case "get":
        customeraction.setQueryType("get");
        break;
      case "post":
        customeraction.setQueryType("post");
        p.addValue("lzpostbody", "<customer><first-name>firstname</ 
first-name><last-name>lastname</last-name></customer>");
        break;
      case "delete":
        customeraction.setQueryType("post");
        p.addValue("_method", "delete");
        break;
      case "put":
        customeraction.setQueryType("post");
        p.addValue("_method", "put");
        break;
     }
     p.addValue("format", "xml");

     customeraction.setSrc(this.baseurl + url);
     customeraction.setQueryString(p);
     customeraction.setHeader("contentType", "application/xml");
     customeraction.doRequest();
   ]]></method>
</canvas>
