Actionscript 3 :: GET Requests With HTTP?
Oct 11, 2011
Unfortunately, Flash Player doesn't support using request headers with GET requests, as noted here, due to what Adobe terms "browser limitations": Due to browser limitations, custom HTTP request headers are only supported for POST requests, not for GET requests. That means I need to create my own HTTP socket class from scratch and find a way to run a policy server on the machine I'll be querying. Hooray.If I want to make a simple GET HTTP request with HTTP-Basic auth headers, what do I need? I'd need something like
socket.write("HTTP GET REQUEST PAYLOAD HERE");
socket.flush();
What do I put in the write method to compose a GET request?

First off, I'm trying to fix something that I didn't build to begin with and the guy who's project it was assures me it was working fine when he left, although a version I haven't touched since he left seems to have the same issues. I'm also a bit new to programming in general so let me know if I've left out important information in my first post and I will try to add more info.
I have a flash application hosted on-line that acts as a client for a server application written in Delphi. Most of the communication is done using sockets, which work fine. Uploading data files and downloading results files is done using HTTP requests, which work fine as long as the user is making use of an instance of the server on another computer. However, if the user has the server application installed on their own computer and attempts to use it specifying localhost as the url, the socket communication still works, but the HTTP requests don't.
All the socket based communication works fine and, when it is not on the localhost, all the HTTP requests work fine as well, which is why this is so mystifying to me. I've tried changing the flash cross-domain policy file that the server dispatches to be completely permissive, all ports, all domains, all http-request-headers, and still no luck. The Flash app will sit waiting for localhost indefinitely most of the time until I close the server application, and then give this error message:

I am finding that if I load Flash from a HTTPS page [URL] and try to make a request within ActionScript 3 to [URL] the request does not go through. Same goes for the opposite (accessing https from a http-loaded flash script).
The request is failing, the requested data (passed from a PHP script) is not loading.
Now at first I assumed the trouble was with cross-domain policy files, but I have fixed that issue (I think).
Is there any security policy in Flash (CS5 btw) on HTTP vs HTTPS requests based on where the script is loaded from?

To put it short, I have an MP3 player on my website coded in flash which plays MP3 files located on my server. What I want to do is give my flash player its own user agent, then in my .htaccess file I will deny the MP3 extension to everything except that user agent. I already have an idea planned using PHP to pass the user agent to flash (to stop reverse engineers getting user agent).
To cut a short story shorter: Is there any way that I can change the user agent flash uses on HTTP requests?

I'm having a problem that I'm not sure is necessarily tied to the Flash, but I don't know what the root of the problem is yet.I have a SWF that connects to a socket using the Socket class. This works fine.I'm also making (jQuery) $.getJSON() requests to load certain page data. This works fine.
However, when the Flash socket is connected the Ajax requests stop being sent. By this I mean that it seems that the HTTP requests being made are stored in a queue while the socket is connected. As soon as I disconnect from the socket the HTTP requests continues to load fine. The HTTP request never times out (as it's not even being sent to the server), but just hangs there waiting...until I close the socket connection.
I've verified both in the jQuery and Adobe docs that both the Ajax (JSONP) requests and the connections using the Socket class are asynchronous, so I'm really confused as to why the socket connection would block the HTTP requests.

Here is an issue i'm struggling to solve for quit some time now.I have a python + GAE backend with a flex client that communicates via JSON. I'm using flex's HttpService bound to a Responder with result and fault callbacks. When python raises an exception, I don't seem to get it in flex. I did some research and found out that the problem probably lies in the fact that the flash runtime cannot handle http responses with status code other than 200.

I run a facebook game that makes http web requests to my server using AS3's URLRequest and URLLoader classes, then takes the json data that the server spits back and and processes it it, etc etc.. Lately I've had users complaining about server requests that never come back. They perform and action and the game just kinda hangs there waiting for a response indefinitely. If it were just every now and again I would blame it on the server just dropping the ball every so often, but some users complain about having this problem consistently at the same exact spot, while others don't get it at all.
The part that bothers me the most is that no matter what I do I cant reproduce the issue that they are having. How can I diagnose this issue without being effected by it? I'm stumped. what might be going on, or anything that I can do to get more information on what might be happening?

A web channel streaming service streams to a certain IP range, it only checks the IP in example.com/cmd.php?id=xxx (channel number) and outputs an rtmpe stream URL, nothing else.How do I trick it to get my local URL instead of the one on their server? I have considered squid proxy, but is there some way to do it with a firefox plugin or greasemonkey script?
Edit:I will try to specify:It's a streaming service from an ISP and cable provider. They stream for free to people on their IP's. On their webtv page, which is called webtv.example.com, there is a flash player. If you are not on an IP from their ISP, you can't stream anything but the test channel.When you try to change channel via. javescript:videoplayer_changechannel(xxx) it makes this HTTP request:
[URL]
If you are on one of their IP's you will get an RTMP URL, like this:
[URL]
This is what the flash player requests, and if it get's this response it load the channel requested. There is no HTML on the php page, just the URL. Note that the rtmp URL is static.If you are not on one of their IP's it will return a random sentence (something stupid, the programmers having fun).I wan't to trick the flash player into getting the right value, even though it's not on one of the ISP's IP's.

I'm havin 5 button MC's (btn1-5 with animation) in a navi MC also there is a contentHome MC where all my content is. Above my content is a mask which fades the content in and out again.So now I'm trying to tell every button what to do, here's the code I'm using e.g. btn1 which is the home button.[code]but for some strange reasons it's not really reacting to my bio, music, and gallery commands, it keeps running the last command (booking).I must admit I just started using if-commands and all that stuff so I'm kinda new to these things, but I think flash only reacts to the last command and delets the others, because I did something wrong in my code writing, but what is it?

I am developing an AIR application with Flex Builder that requires me to make two HTTPService requests at the same time. They both use different instances of the HTTPService AS3 class. Both services are calling a RESTful API which is currently running on my localhost (XAMPP) and takes a few seconds to respond (much quicker on live server). The problem is that most of the time one of the calls fails, however occasionally they do both work. Its also random as to which call will fail. Both calls use code something like this. This code is basically repeated in two classes.

I have a Flex client that loads data from a server to display a chart. This data may change, so the client regularly repeats the request. Since the result may require some work to retrieve, I'm going to have the server detect if the result has changed, and issue a 304 status if it hasn't.I haven't seen any headers in the Flash Player's requests which would indicate that it's already handling conditional GETs. Also, the HTTPService API doesn't seem to provide anything, either. Does that mean, Flash can't do this, or how can I implement this myself?
With regards to cookies, which aren't supported in Flash, I have heard the suggestion to build my own HTTP client on top of the Socket class. This might solve this issue, too, but frankly, I'm really not keen on doing that.As an alternative, I could just cache the result page and send it again, but so far, the API tries to utilize semantics that are already built into HTTP, and I'd like to keep it that way.

I want to send AJAX requests to my website from my Flash games to process data, but I don't want people downloading them, decompiling them, then sending fake requests to be processed, so I'm trying to figure out the most secure way to process in the PHP files. My first idea was to use Apache's built in Authorization module to require a username and password to access the pages on a separate subdomain of my website, but then you'd have to include that username and password in the AJAX request anyway so that seems kind of pointless to even try.My current option looks pretty promising but I want to make sure it will work. Basically it just checks the IP address being sent using REMOTE_ADDR to make sure it's the IP address that my server runs on.
<?
$allowed = new Array("64.120.211.89", "64.120.211.90");
if (!in_array($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], $allowed)) header("HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden");
?>
Both of those IP addresses point to my server. Things I'm worried about:
1) If I send a request from Flash/ActionScript, will that affect the IP address in any way?
2) Is it possible for malicious users to change the IP address that is being sent with REMOTE_ADDR to one of my IP addresses?

I have a big loop in actionscript that sends lots of data to an url:
for(var i=0;i<1000;i++) {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
request.url = url;
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = data;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.load(request);
}
The problem is because URLLoader can make only asynchronous calls, it sends all those thousands requests at once which kills webserver. Also it acts a bit strange on top of that. Lets say the loop is running for 5 minutes. For whole 5 minutes there is no requests coming to web server, then at the end they all are sent at once. I already tried everything I could possibly think of (empty loops, callbacks, delays) - nothing works. All requests are sent at once no matter what. How to make requests synchronous, so it will send one request after another?

I can modify my PHPRequest object so that it can detect and handle errors from my webserver? Normally after each of my successful requests, it dispatches that event which I listen for and then I can handle the data in the resultArray. During these times I notice I'm receiving a HTTP STATUS of 200 in my http status handler.

Is it possible to catch some external URL requests from loaded swf?
I have loader swf in which I need to load another swf. Those swf files I load are extarnal and I don`t have fla sources.
There is one large *.swf community which allows *.swf creators to upload their swfs. However, that should be packed swfs in one file, with no external script requests.

Any best way to handle multiple URL requests. This is what I have:
Code:
function dropCick(evt:MouseEvent):void {
if(evt.target == dropDownM.dropBtns_mc.menFoot_btn) {
var URL_6:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
URL_6.url="[URL]";
navigateToURL(URL_6,"_self");
[Code] .....
I would think there would be a better more efficient way to do this.

I have this odd situation, let me provide some background: - I have SWF and PHP files on a shared host, along with a MySQL database - I'm using urlloader requests to interact with the database via the PHP files.Everything works for me as expected. However, the end user is having trouble. Basically, none of the urlloader requests actually make a request - I'm basing this on all of the *.php requests in the access log from my IP, and none from his IP. I had him load one of the PHP files directly, and it came up fine, so I've ruled out firewall/security problems on the OS level.
Now - what could possibly cause this? He has 3 machines running XP and win 7 (all with the same issue), and he's using IE8 with the latest flashplayer. I've set up an XP virtual machine with IE8 and also the latest flash player and it works fine. I've also tested on a separate laptop running Vista. I've also tested with chromium and FF3 under linux and FF3.6 under XP (flashplayer versions 9 and the current 10.x) and everything works hereI've tried a crossdomain.xml file allowing from *, allowing from the domain where the files are hosted, and no crossdomain.xml file at all.

The main top section of the site is a little Flash thing that has buttons as links to different areas of the site. All of that is well and good, but whenever I click those links, it has to reload the entire page (including the Flash app) when only the bottom part changes. This isn't really a huge issue, since everything's real small, but it's kind of annoying.I vaguely remember "fixing" this behavior using AJAX during my web programming class, but that was just straight HTML and Javascript, no Flash players to muck around with.My question is, how do I overcome having to reload the entire page when someone clicks a link from the Flash object? Is there some nice way I can call something other than getURL() to achieve this effect?

As you might know, browser's security model does not allow a script loaded in a page from http:[url]... to make cross-domain requests (no AJAX calls to any other domain other than url...).The Javascript file itself could have been served from a different domain altogether (url....) and that is irrelevant. This is the Same-Origin Policy.
Flash also has something similar? But does Flash treat the origin to be the HTML page where the .swf file was loaded or origin is the domain which served the .swf file?
So http:[url]... loads a .swf file from http:[url].... Now .swf can load resources only from [url].... or only [url....? I'm assuming there are no cross-domain.xml files setup on either [url]....
