<P>In our case it can be pretty big, we do need the performance.</P>
<P>So the actual response format is truly binary (SWF) and not XML at all? in that case the content-type is correct I guess.</P>
<P>or is it text wtih just the encoding set to SWF? in that case I guess we could figure a workaround?</P>
<P>Thank you!</P>

The implementation for DHTML uses a JSON encoding. The fix for this would need to be to switch to using the JSON encoding with the swf runtime. We do have a JSON parser for SWF7/8, it would be somewhat slower than the direct-to-swf transport being used now, but that might be acceptable if the amount of data you are sending in each request is not very large. <BR><BR><BR></P>

<P>Hi all</P>
<P>We have an app using Laszlo XML RPC rather heaviliy, our version is 4.0.8.</P>
<P>Looking at the logs one sees that the REQUESTS produced by our client for XML-RPC are of type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"</P>
<P>(which makes sense - it is the correct content-type for a POST request).</P>
<P>However the RESPONSEs are of type "application/x-shockwave-flash" which is strange.</P>
<P>We would expect the reponse type to be text/xml or something like that. This is creating a real-world problem for us on various consumers e.g. JMeter - which expect the text/xml to function correctly.</P>
<P>Do you have any experience with this issue? Suggestions or workarounds?</P>
<P>Detailed info from the logs is below.</P>
<P>Thanks </P>
<P>Gilad</P>
<P>P.S. For example: something like the following response headers</P>
