Is anyone else having problems using POST with localProxy enabled? Even using the example localProxy code, it appears that nothing is sent POST when localproxy is enabled. The requested page is:

 http://example.com/bar.php?query=[object%20Object] 

What is that Object? Disabling localProxy allows the POST to go through normally. Any thoughts on a fix? 893585135 11:36, 8 July 2008 (PDT)

Does it fallback to the proxy when the user doesn't have (the right) flash capabilities?

+1 to this question, I'm curious as well.

I used the following code to work with/without proxy :

function ajaxPost(ajax, post) {
        ajax.useLocalProxy = true;
        try {
                ajax.post(url, post);
        } catch(e) {
                // most likely localproxy failed
                ajax.useLocalProxy = false;
                ajax.post(url, post);
        }
}

It fixes failure because flash isn't installed. For other cases, I guess you need to handle onerror 532974378 16:25, 27 March 2008 (PDT)

Wow its almost like i thought of this (http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Talk:FBJS#Access_to_fbjs_fbml_string.28html.29) and got yelled at when i did ("unacceptable" to quote the response).. just had to "discuss" my frustration with the obvious two faced appearance here.

[edit] LocalProxy and login?

From what I found out when testing, it seems to be impossible to keep a session and use LocalProxy. I'd suggest to use a private session identifier, and check it (pass it via post), still it's far from what we would expect from a clean code :) Anyone did have to workaround that? 532974378 16:25, 27 March 2008 (PDT)
