WDDX rocks with DW extensions

[Steve]

This isn't really a question, more of a comment. I've been working on some
extensions that heavy use of WDDX [url]http://www.openwddx.org[/url] to transfer complex
data between dreamweaver and my server. It works great. If you haven't played
with WDDX yet, try it out. Steve

Hey Steve,

How are you performing the data transfer to the server? Using the built in FTP, the MMHttp object, or some other method?

I've been using MMhttp. That works pretty well. Basically I get the wddx data
with a MMHttp.getText() then, populate a form in my extension with the data.
Then use the setField() WDDX function to manipulate the WDDX, then when i'm
done I serialize the data and use MMHttp.postText() to send the updated packet
back to the server. I have had some issues with urlencoding the data. But I
think that might actually be on the ColdFusion side, not DW. I don't remember
having this problem with CF4 and CF 5 it might be a bug in CF6, i'm not sure.
For example if I have a WDDX packet that contains HTML data in it, when i send
the packet back to the server it barfs on me. This happens even if i encode the
data with the JS escape() function. It seems to urldecode it too soon. Anyway i
got around that by just replacing the &'s in the data with %% then doing
the same thing when the packet comes to the server. Ugly, but it works. Steve
