Req: asyncPostImpl() let us specify 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'

[Mr. Monster]

asyncPostImpl() is pretty annoying since its hard coded as:

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=utf-8");

I want to send simple POST data with form style encoding:

"var1=hello&var2=world"

I believe there should be a way to specify:

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

If it's already possible to do this please show me how, I don't see it
in the docs.

[Mr. Monster]

Bump, can any of the developers let us know if there are any plans for
this?

I don't want to be sending big ammounts of data using GET and have all
that stuff end up in httpd logs.

Hi Mr. Monster,

I forwarded this to our XMLHttp guy. His responses tend to be
asynchronous, so in the meantime you could edit the source to provide a
way to get the encoding you need.

I completely agree that this is a good idea.  It won't need to be a big change, just a couple of extra overloads in HttpRequest.  I'll add it to the issues list, as I'm certain other people will need this functionality from time to time as well.

Nice!
