This is (hopefully) an easy question. I have to submit a request to a web service via POST with XDomainRequest. I have found sparse documentation for this across the internet, but I refuse to believe that nobody has figured this out. Here is my XDomainRequest code:\[code\]var testURL = 'http://localhost:4989/testendpoint';//let us check to see if the browser is ie. If it is not, let's if ($.browser.msie && window.XDomainRequest) { var xdr2 = new XDomainRequest(); xdr2.open("POST", testURL); xdr2.timeout = 5000; xdr2.onerror = function () { alert('we had an error!'); } xdr2.onprogress = function () { alert('we have some progress!'); }; xdr2.onload = function () { alert('we load the xdr!'); var xml2 = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM"); xml2.async = true; xml2.loadXML(xdr2.responseText); }; //what form should my request take to be sending a string for a POST request? xdr2.send("thisisastring");}\[/code\]My web service (WCF) takes a single parameter according to the web service's help page, that looks like this:\[code\]<string xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">String content</string>\[/code\]I've gotten this to work via other http clients (mobile and desktop APIs, fiddler) by building a string that concatenates the parameter I am trying to pass to the web service with the rest of the string serialization. For example, I have tried:\[code\]xdr2.send("thisisastring");xdr2.send("<string xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">thisisastring</string>");\[/code\]but the onerror handler is always tripped. I don't think it has anything to do with the WCF because:
- The WCF is always successful in every other client I call it from,and
- If it was the service, the onerror method would never get tripped. It would return garbage, but it would be returning something.
