title: Send XML String With HTTP Post In Actionscript 3
body: <p>I am having a little trouble sending an xml string to an HTTPService an Actionscript3 (see code below).  Basically, I am trying to send a georss xml string for conversion into another format.  I am getting an ioError and suspect the xml is causing havoc with the services parser.</p>
  
  <p>I know this approach is probably not the best, but this is where I am at.  I am open to any and all suggestions.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;mx:HTTPService id="testService" url="http://localhost/testservice.ashx" 
      fault="httpFaultHandler(event)"
      result="httpResultHandler(event)"
      method="POST"
  &lt;/mx:HTTPService&gt;
  
  
  private var georss:XML = {A GeoRSS XML Document}     
  private var georssString = georss.toXMLString();
  
  private function testService():void
  {
      testService.cancel();
      var params:Object = new Object();
      params.layer = 'TestLayer';
      params.inputdata = georss;
      testService.send();
  }
  </code></pre>
