feathers.rpc.http

An Operation used specifically by HTTPService or HTTPMultiService. An Operation is an individual operation on a service usually corresponding to a single operation on the server side. An Operation can be called either by invoking the function of the same name on the service or by accessing the Operation as a property on the service and calling the send(param1, param2) method. HTTP services also support a sendBody method which allows you to directly specify the body of the HTTP response. If you use the send(param1, param2) method, the body is typically formed by combining the argumentNames property of the operation with the parameters sent. An Object is created which uses the argumentNames[i] as the key and the corresponding parameter as the value.

You use the <mx:HTTPMultiService> tag to represent a collection of http operations. Each one has a URL, method, parameters and return type.

You use the HTTPService class to represent an HTTPService object in ActionScript. When you call the HTTPService object's send() method, it makes an HTTP request to the specified URL, and an HTTP response is returned. Optionally, you can pass parameters to the specified URL. When you do not go through the server-based proxy service, you can use only HTTP GET or POST methods. However, when you set the useProxy property to true and you use the server-based proxy service, you can also use the HTTP HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE, and DELETE methods.

This class is useful for framework developers wishing to plug in or modify the HTTP services to use a new serialization format. This allows you to invoke methods on the service object and control how parameters are mapped to a specific serialiation format such as XML, JSON, etc. The SerializationFilter mechanism allows you to add a new resultFormat as well.
