why use URLLoader instead of HTTPService?

[uniqpod]

The webapi in this group uses a customized URLLoader to communicate
with REST service. And then dealing with the http response directly.
Just wondering why not using HTTPService instead? Because of
performance or other consideration?

I havent looked at that code in a while, but this is what I recall:

1. we used a custom / dyanmic class, so we could associate the name /
values pairs with the request instance.

2. we didnt have a need to use HTTPService, and didnt want to require
the Flex framework.

hope that helps...
