setRequestEntity

scrapeableFile.setRequestEntity( String requestEntity ) (professional and enterprise editions only)
Description
Sets the complete value that will be sent in the POST payload portion of the request. This method allows you to set the entity portion of a POST request that would otherwise be set by designating parameters under the "Parameters" tab for a scrapeable file. This is rarely necessary, but can be useful in cases where an entire string of XML must be sent (e.g., in many AJAX applications).
Example
// Sets the request entitiy to an XML document.
scrapeableFile.setRequestEntity( "<outerNode><innerNode>my data</innerNode></outerNode>" );
