Support network.request for Android and Windows Simulator

Due to my needs around creating an app that communicates with my web site and supports cross device development, it was disheartening to say the least to hear from your support staff that network.request is not supported on the Android or in the Windows simulator.

I was drawn to Corona based on your page at http://www.anscamobile.com/corona/ which touts cross device development. It seems like adding support for network.request on Windows Simulator and for Android should be strongly considered.

I second this. The worst part is that it is not documented in the API. So I just spend lots of hours trying to make this work and in the end it was an API issue. :expressionless:

Well, it was working in my windows simulator, that was even worse, since the simulator worked but the device was not.

I can tell that in my case the problem was that the network request didn’t send my POST payload. [import]uid: 50041 topic_id: 6329 reply_id: 37116[/import]
