[Developers] sandbox caching old values, slow expiration?

[Arthur van Hoff]

Ah, you are right. It turns out that Actionscript silently turns an
empty POST into a GET. Sorry about that.

It looks like I can't do an empty POST from AS3, so I'll stick with my
other hack.

Hi Arthur,

The logs seem to indicate that those 405s are being generated in 
response to HTTP GETs. The "refresh cache" functionality is currently 
defined only for an empty POST to /api/service/mqlwrite. Can you double 
check that your code is POSTing?
