[Flashcoders] LoadVars.sendAndLoad failing don't know why

[Steven Sacks]

If I use getURL() with a POST query string with arguments in the
?param=foo&param2=bar, the server script responds with a success (true).

If I use sendAndLoad to the same exact URL and same exact arguments in
the sender.param = "foo"; sender.param2="bar", the server script
responds with a fail (false).

The server script response means the params were good, false means they
were not. I cannot provide the URL for outside testing, unfortunately.

Here is my code.

var sender = new LoadVars();
var receiver = new LoadVars();
sender.dkw = INP_DeviceID.text;
sender.p = INP_Phone.text;
receiver.onLoad = function(success)
{
if (success)
{
for (var a in this)
{
if (a != "onLoad")
{
debug("response: " + a);
}
}
}
else
{
debug("failed to connect");
}
};

// THIS GETS BACK A RESPONSE OF FALSE
sender.sendAndLoad(postURL, receiver, "POST");

// THIS GETS BACK A RESPONSE OF TRUE (in the browser window)
getURL(postURL + "?dkw=" + INP_DeviceID.text + "&p=" + INP_Phone.text,
"_blank", "POST");

Same exact thing. Also, Firebug doesn't trace any arguments on the HTTP
request from the sendAndLoad().

I've been using sendAndLoad for years. This is a big WTF for me. Any ideas?

Are you testing from the IDE or live? You can't do a POST from the IDE.

I can't watch the request in Firebug if I was in the IDE. ;)

Nevermind. On a lark, I just tested with GET and it worked. I knew it
was the server guy's fault.

Hi Steven,

not sure what your config is, but I've been in situations where it appeared
POSTS where disallowed on the firewall.
The "If I use getURL() with a POST query string with arguments in the
?param=foo&param2=bar, the" seems like a masqueraded GET to me:), but I
might be wrong.
