Need example code in AS3 for API login using POST

I can successfully log in using GET with this code:

_____________________________________
///// _cookie is session ID obtained from common-info request

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(_serverURL+LOGIN_URL+"&domain="+_domain+"&login="+userName+"&password="+password+"&session="+_cookie);
req.method = URLRequestMethod.GET;
req.contentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
                       
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, logInSuccess);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioError);
loader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityError);
loader.load(req);   

____________________________________

However when I attempt to do this with POST it fails and returns:

<results>
  <status code="no-data"/>
</results>

see code below:
_____________________________________________

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(_serverURL+"/api/xml");
req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
/// have tried both "text/xml" and "application/xml"
req.contentType = "application/xml";   
var dataXML:XML = 
<params>
    <param name="action">login</param>
    <param name="login">{_userName}</param>
    <param name="password">{_password}</param>
        <param name="session">{_cookie}</param>
    <param name="domain">{_domain}</param> 
</params>
;

dataXML.normalize();
req.data = dataXML.toString();           
           
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, logInSuccess);
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, ioError);
loader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityError);
loader.load(req);

When I do this in a browser using the "Advanced Rest Client" app in chrome it works fine and returns an "OK" but this doesn't seem to work from within my Pod code. I am guessing that the broswer app manages cookies automatically (may be) and my pod code using Flash Player doesn't do this. I Just don't know, may be there is an error in my AS3 code?

I don't want to log in with GET because if people aren't using HTTPS then all credentials are human readable in the request string which in my book is a big nono.

Does any one have any working example AS3 code with this work with a get?
