sendToUrl() alternative?

Haxe
#1

Is there alternative of flash AS3 sendToUrl(…) in haxe / OpenFL ?

No, but it would be great if we did. Perhaps we could do openfl.Utils, which isn’t quite as nice as flash.utils, but would allow import openfl.Utils.sendToURL; (since Haxe does not allow a single static function to standalone in one file)

Perhaps URLLoader could work, for example (from Adobe’s sample code):

var url:String = "http://www.yourDomain.com/application.jsp";
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.sessionId = new Date().getTime();
variables.userLabel = "Your Name";

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
request.data = variables;
trace("sendToURL: " + request.url + "?" + request.data);
try {
    sendToURL(request);
}
catch (e:Error) {
    // handle error here
}

to something like:

var url = "http://www.yourDomain.com/application.jsp";
var variables = new URLVariables();
variables.sessionId = new Date().getTime();
variables.userLabel = "Your Name";

var request = new URLRequest(url);
request.data = variables;
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

var urlLoader = new URLLoader(request);
