20 DREAMWEAVER API REFERENCE
The HTTP API
Last updated 8/27/2013
Arguments
callbackFunc, URL, dataToPost, {contentType}, {serverScriptsFolder}
• The callbackFunc argument is the name of the JavaScript function to call when the HTTP request is complete.
• The URL argument is an absolute URL on a web server; if http:// is omitted from the URL, Dreamweaver assumes
HTTP protocol.
• The dataToPost argument is the data to be posted. If the third argument is "application/x-www-form-
urlencoded" or omitted, data must be form-encoded according to section 8.2.1 of the RFC 1866 specification
(available at www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1866.html ).
• The contentType argument, which is optional, is the content type of the data to be posted. If omitted, this argument
defaults to
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" .
• The serverScriptsFolder argument is an optional string. It names a particular folder, relative to the Configuration
folder on the application server—to which you want to post the data. To post the data, Dreamweaver uses the
appropriate transfer protocol (such as FTP, WebDAV, or Remote File System). Dreamweaver retrieves these data
and passes them to the function identified by callbackFunc.
If an error occurs, Dreamweaver reports it in the statusCode property of the returned object.
