Class mxXmlRequest

For encoding parameter values, the built-in encodeURIComponent JavaScript method must be used. For automatic encoding of post data in mxEditor the mxEditor.escapePostData switch can be set to true (default). The encoding will be carried out using the conte type of the page. That is, the page containting the editor should contain a meta tag in the header, eg.

example

var onload = function(req)
{
  mxUtils.alert(req.getDocumentElement());
}

var onerror = function(req)
{
  mxUtils.alert('Error');
}
new mxXmlRequest(url, 'key=value').send(onload, onerror);

Sends an asynchronous POST request to the specified URL.

example

var req = new mxXmlRequest(url, 'key=value', 'POST', false);
req.send();
mxUtils.alert(req.getDocumentElement());

Sends a synchronous POST request to the specified URL.

example

var encoder = new mxCodec();
var result = encoder.encode(graph.getModel());
var xml = encodeURIComponent(mxUtils.getXml(result));
new mxXmlRequest(url, 'xml='+xml).send();

Sends an encoded graph model to the specified URL using xml as the parameter name. The parameter can then be retrieved in C# as follows:

(code) string xml = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(context.Request.Params["xml"]); (end)

Or in Java as follows:

(code) String xml = URLDecoder.decode(request.getParameter("xml"), "UTF-8").replace("\n", " "); (end)

Note that the linefeeds should only be replaced if the XML is processed in Java, for example when creating an image.
