i want to use custom headers like ("X-HEADER-1", "123456789"), ("X-HEADER-2", "abcdefghi"), so i change

var authHeader:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Authorization","Basic " + credentials);
to
var authHeader:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("X-HEADER-1","123456789");
var authHeader:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("X-HEADER-2","abcdefghi");?

Its works !!!
I need change only this :
var credentials:String = Base64.encode(email + ":" + password);

TO ->

var encoder : Base64Encoder = new mx.utils.Base64Encoder();
encoder.insertNewLines = false;
encoder.encode(email + ":" + password);

var credentials:String = encoder.toString();

Flash Player has some security sandbox restrictions, which doesn't allow you to connect to any arbitrary port. If you want to connect ports lower than 1024, you need to have a socket-policy-file. Unfortunately, bloglines doesn't have that, hence connecting to rpc.bloglines.com:80 would not work.

Socket Policy Documentations:-

This was one of the reasons, I didn't release my bloglines actionscript library, which was the main reason for creating HTTPURLLoader (as3httpclient - http://code.google.com/p/as... )

Yes, I think you might be right. I know about flash.net.FileReference class and I have used earlier in my code.

I have tried to use JScript but I am not an expert in that. I am planning to use Java/.Net code with Flex Remoting. If you don't mind could you give me a sample on JScript which creates/deletes a file. This will really help to avoid the dependencies.

Thanks,
Ravi Shankar

Hi Ravi

As far as I know, Flash Player 10 allows local file access (read-only). You can prompt user to browse a file and content of that can be read in actionscript. I don't think, you can write to client machine without using any signed-code (applet, activex, javascript, etc).

Hi,

Excellent, I am new to FLEX n I am doing a project while learning. This example was really helped me as my situation required this solution.

I need to access local filesystem using FLEX web application, could you help me out to solve this problem or any alternative solution will be appreciated. As I know FLEX (WEB) should not support filesystem access.

Thanks a lot,
Ravi Shankar

@zeeshan: Did you try adding it to headers object? What error you get? I know, Flash Player doesn't let you add/override many http-headers. As far as I know, none of headers (user_agent, user_agent_id) is standard http header, hence it should work.

Please note, user-agent is a standard http header, if you are using user-agent, you might not be able to do that. Kindly check the list of http headers Flash Player doesn't let developers override.

@David
I guess, it's part of as3corelib (http://code.google.com/p/as...

Abdul:
The as3httpclientlib requires com.adobe.net.URI, but, this is not documented as to where to obtain this library. It's not in Flex, it's not AIR only?
Seems this would be noted somewhere on the examples/docs, as the package seems unusable without this code.
Thanks.

Hi Guys
This code was written long time back, things have changed a lot in Flash Player after that. Some of the headers were not allowed in some intermediate player releases, it seems Flash Player 10 has got those fixes.
However, I am not still not sure one can do HTTP Auth over HTTP/GET in Flash Player 10.
There is better library available now at http://code.google.com/p/as..., you might want to use it instead.
I have stopped updating this code, after I noticed as3httpclientlib is good stuff.
Sorry for delays in my reply, been stuck and shame on me, couldn't be of any help when you needed.
Thanks

Hey,
I did a modification on your class to get Basic Authentication working.
The command request.requestHeaders.push(authHeader) causes an Error since it is not allowed to set the keyword Authorization any more.
The solution I used was to let the constructor recieve a URLRequest object the same way as before, but the load method now recieves an Array of Strings instead. Each string in the format HeaderName:HeaderValue.
I then adjusted your sendHeaders method to fetch the headers from the array instead. Worked fine, even with Authorize.
If you wanna talk about it, drop me an email.

Hi cody,
I have tried using ordinary serv.headers['Authorization'], but It didn't work with me when method is "GET" !!
Can you send the full httpservice code you made ?
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone
I am trying to use a MapPoint web service for virtual earth maps via Action script 2.0.
1.) How do we do digest authentication in action script 2.0. Can someone provide me an example or code sample ?
2.) MapPoint service exposes complex objects to deal with Route calculation etc.. ? Can Webservice class in AS 2.0 access such complex type objects ? What is the work around ?
3.) Is Flash remoting better to talk to web services than the webservice class and XML connector?
Thanks,
Ridibona
