Synopsis
XMLdoc.contentType
Access
Read/write
Description
The contentType
property is the MIME type that is
sent to a server when XML.send( )
or
XML.sendAndLoad( )
is invoked. It defaults to
application/x-www-urlform-encoded
. The
contentType
property may be
modified for specific XML objects, or
XML.prototype.contentType
may
be modified to affect all XML
objects.
The contentType
property first appeared in Build
41 of the Flash 5 Player, before which it was not possible to set
MIME type. Check contentType
’s validity by
comparing it to undefined
or using the
getVersion( )
function to determine the Player
version and build.
Usage
See important notes on setting MIME type under the
XML.send( )
entry.
