The HTTP API 37
Arguments
callbackFunc , URL , dataToPost , {contentType}, {serverScriptsFolder}
■
The
callbackFunc
argument is the name of the JavaScript function to call when the
HTTP request is complete.
■
The
URL
argument is an absolute URL on a web server; if http:// is omitted from the
URL, Dreamweaver assumes HTTP protocol.
■
The
dataToPost
argument is the data to be posted. If the third argument is
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
or omitted,
data
must be form-encoded
according to section 8.2.1 of the RFC 1866 specification (available at www.faqs.org/rfcs/
rfc1866.html ).
■
The
contentType
argument, which is optional, is the content type of the data to be
posted. If omitted, this argument defaults to
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
.
■
The
serverScriptsFolder
argument is an optional string. It names a particular folder,
relative to the Configuration folder on the application server—to which you want to post
the data. To post the data, Dreamweaver uses the appropriate transfer protocol (such as
FTP, WebDAV, or Remote File System). Dreamweaver retrieves these data and passes
them to the function identified by
callbackFunc
.
If an error occurs, Dreamweaver reports it in the
statusCode
property of the returned object.
