Send a string with null byte via a XMLHTTPRequest Post

[ajaxnewbie]

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to send a string with null bytes using XMLHTTPRequest POST? The string is passed on to the Javascript from a java applet.

At the moment, XHR is assuming the null byte as a string terminator and dumping everything after the null byte.

The server thats expecting the string doesnt allow encoding into any format.

Thanks a lot,
Sanj.

If the server can handle the 'null byte' after decoding, then you can encode the byte as a numeric entity. Perhaps something like:

Here is the specification for numeric entities in XML.
