post xml through a proxy

Hi,



I am wondering if it is possible to post xml to a url through
a proxy using Flex Data Services. When my Flex project was just a
regular Flex project, I had this working by using something like
this:



<mx:HTTPService id="annoService" url="
http://.../geoserver/wfs"
useProxy="false" method="POST" contentType="application/xml"
result="testResults(event);" resultFormat="e4x"
showBusyCursor="true" />



However, now I would like to use FDS and go through a proxy.
So my code now looks something like this:



<mx:HTTPService id="annoService" destination="wfsurl"
useProxy="true" method="POST" contentType="application/xml"
result="testResults(event);" resultFormat="e4x"
showBusyCursor="true" />



In proxy-config.xml I have something like this:





<destination id="wfsurl">

<properties>

<url>
http://.../geoserver/wfs</url>

</properties>

</destination>



This does not currently seem to be working. I guess my first
question is - Should this work? If that is the case perhaps I am
doing something else wrong. Is there anything else I need to put in
my proxy-config.xml file?



Thanks in advance for any help on this.

I believe I answered my own question - yes this is possible.
And I was doing everything correctly. I was making another
unrelated error which I thought was related.



Thanks,
