Example

The following example adds a custom HTTP header named

SOAPAction with a value of Foo

to an XML object named

my_xml:

my_xml.addRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "'Foo'");

The following example creates an array named headers that contains two alternating HTTP

headers and their associated values. The array is passed as a parameter to the

addRequestHeader() method.

var headers:Array = new Array("Content-Type", "text/plain", "X-

ClientAppVersion", "2.0");

my_xml.addRequestHeader(headers);

See also

addRequestHeader (LoadVars.addRequestHeader method)

contentType (XML.contentType property)

public contentType : String

The MIME content type that is sent to the server when you call the XML.send() or

XML.sendAndLoad() method. The default is application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which

is the standard MIME content type used for most HTML forms.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example creates a new XML document and checks its default content type:

// create a new XML document

var doc:XML = new XML();

// trace the default content type

trace(doc.contentType); // output: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

The following example defines an XML packet, and sets the content type for the XML object.

The data is then sent to a server and shows a result in a browser window.

var my_xml:XML = new XML("<highscore><name>Ernie</name><score>13045</

score></highscore>");

my_xml.contentType = "text/xml";

my_xml.send("http://www.flash-mx.com/mm/highscore.cfm", "_blank");
