Actionscript Firebase POSTing, Error #2032 - actionscript-3

Question

I am trying to POST to my firebase account, but I can't seem to figure out why it's not letting me. I can switch the POST to a GET and trace out the data I'm trying to get, but when I POST I get en error.
Code:
package
{
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.net.URLRequestMethod;
import flash.net.URLVariables;
import flash.net.navigateToURL;
import flash.net.URLLoaderDataFormat;
//import flash.system.Security;
/**
* ...
* #author M
*/
public class FireBaseConnector
{
public function FireBaseConnector()
{
//Security.loadPolicyFile("https://demo.firebaseio-demo.com/crossdomain.xml");
trace("trying to post");
var url:String = 'https://[myURL].firebaseio.com/userData.json';
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.name = "alan"
req.data = variables;
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var l:URLLoader = new URLLoader()
//l.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
l.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError);
l.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleResults);
l.load(req);
}
public function onError(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace("Error! " + e.text);
}
public function handleResults(e:Event):void {
trace("response" + e.target.data as String);
}
}
}
My output is:
[Starting debug session with FDB]
running
trying to post
Error! Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: https://resplendent-fire-2464.firebaseio.com/userData/.json
closing time!
closing time!
If i switch to GET my output is:
[Starting debug session with FDB]
running
trying to post
response{"dave":{"id":"678","name":"dave"},"mike":{"name":"mike"},"miles":{"id":"456","name":"miles"}}
closing time!
closing time!
That tells me I have the url right, but I have some permissions problem or something when trying to post. Maybe I have the variables sending improperly? I've made sure my Flash debugger is on the accepted app list in my Firewall.
I'm running Windows 10 and FlashDevelop JRE 1.6 Flex 4.6 Air 18

Answer 1

To send a POST request to the Firebase REST API you need to send the data JSON encoded:
var urlVars:Object = new Object();
urlVars.name = nameTxt.text;
urlVars.lastname = lastNameTxt.text;
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(FIREBASEURL);
request.data = JSON.stringify(urlVars);
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
var firebaseLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
firebaseLoader.addEventListener(flash.events.Event.COMPLETE, function():void
{
trace(firebaseLoader.data);
});
firebaseLoader.load(request);

I try this code can work
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
var urlVars:Object = new Object();
urlVars.name = "111111";
var url:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
var hdr:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "https://[myURL].firebaseio.com/userData.json" );
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
req.data = JSON.stringify(urlVars);
url.load(req);
url.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,urlCompelte)
function urlCompelte(e:Event){
trace(e.target.data);//{"name":"-Ka6PGZc_hY-sfJJqeVS"}
}
