• I tried it, with synchronous method and it seems to work ! :)

  function test() {
    var xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
  
    // open the client
    xhr.open('POST','http://localhost/somefile.php', false);
  
    // send the data
    xhr.send(data);
  
    if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200){
      if (xhr.responseText == '100') {
        return true;
      }
      else {
        return false;
      }
    }
    else {
      alert('error');
      return false;
    }
  }
  
  var t = test();
  
  if (t) {
    alert('ok !');
  }
  

• I created a custom function send()

  when completes it fires an event [http_request_done]
  and then you can use the data returned

  
  function send(url , event)
          {
              var xhr = Titanium.Network.createHTTPClient();
              xhr.setTimeout(3000); // Set the timout to 3 seconds
  
              xhr.onload = function()
              {
                  if(this.readyState == 4 && this.status == "200" )
                  {    
                      event.fireEvent("http_request_done",
                      { 
                          responseData : this.responseData, 
                          responseText : this.responseText
                      });
                  }
                  else
                  {
                      k.basic.alert("Connection Error","The data couldn't be fetched from the server");
                      k.log("[K.network.send] [HTTP] - Alert triggerd in the onload");
                  }    
              };
  
              xhr.onerror = function(e)
              {
                  k.basic.alert("Connection Error","The data couldn't be fetched from the server");
                  k.log("[K.network.send] [HTTP] - Alert triggerd in the onerror");
              };
  
              xhr.open("GET",url);
              xhr.send();    
          }
  

• The answer from support is:
  Titanium does not currently support synchronous XHR. You just need to kick off the tasks in your onerror or onload.

  Real nice…NOT!

• Vannier…THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!

  I don't know how much time I've invested to get this to work.

• maybe use jquery?
