The URL to upload variables to.

method
The
GET
or
POST
method of the HTTP protocol.

Description
Method; sends the variables in the
my_lv
object to the specified URL. All enumerable variables in
my_lv
are concatenated into a string in the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format by default,
and the string is posted to the URL using the HTTP
POST
method. This is the same format used
by the
loadVariables()
action. The MIME content type sent in the HTTP request headers is
the value of
my_lv.contentType
, or the default application/x-www-form-urlencoded . The
POST
method is used unless
GET
is specified.
If the
target
parameter is specified, the server’s response is displayed in the browser frame
window named target. If the
target
parameter is omitted, the server’s response is discarded.
This method is similar to
XML.send()
.
