I have seen this post:
[AS3] URLLoader data?

but I don't get it completely. What data format should I use if I don't know what it's comming?
Can I detect the dataFormat incoming using "instanceof" ? eg:
urlLoader.data instanceof ByteArray

How can I set the Loader to recieve any data? If I recieve gzipped data I have to decompress it using AS?

.. I have also seen on this page:
http://blog.dannypatterson.com/?p=133#more-133
the following piece of code:

...
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = “YOUR_SERVICE_ENDPOINT”;
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.contentType = “text/xml; charset=utf-8″;
request.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader(”SOAPAction”, “YOUR_SOAP_ACTION”));
request.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader(”Accept-Encoding”, “gzip”));
 
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onResult, false, 0, true);
loader.load(request);
... 

If I set
request.url = to my servlet url
and
Accept-Encoding to text
could this force the iis to not compress the data?

thanks again!
