I think I may have been confused on the way flex goes about
handling data requests. The final outcome I was looking for was
that requests hitting the server from the flex app would have the
accept type of 'application/xml' (so you'd do a .send() on the
service and it would send out a request who's header would be ...
Accept: application/xml).
I was assuming that this parameter would change that, but I'm
getting the feeling that that is more of an internal to the app
setting than an outbound request parameter and that the browser
will probably keep the same request header no matter what.
So if you're running your flex app on Firefox your server is
always going to see (for the time being)
Accept:
text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5
Hopefully that is clear.
Anyone want to confirm/deny that?
