I am creating a google scraper in Adobe AIR using the Flex 4 framework. I have run into a brick wall: Google forces a captcha after around 10 pages are read. Can anyone tell me how to get the page through a proxy server
I know I can call my server directly from javascript. However, I want to do this through a non-GUI SWF file. I'm fairly new to Flash but have gotten all the CS3 tools from work. Does anyone know of any examples on:
1. how to make a web request from within flash provided the URL, post content, and timeout
2. how to call a Flash API from javascript asynchronously
3. how to detect whether the browser being used can support my SWF (I don't want it to prompt to install Flash if they don't have it yet)
I'm actually hoping someone has already done this and has a sample already built.
I want to write application for facebook and vkontakte, which will consist of such main blocks as: SocialNetworkAPI (which include all work dedicated to social networks: posting to wall, get all user's info) and ServerAPI (which will send HTTP POST requests to my Java based server and receive data from there in JSON).
I am looking now to Adobe flash URLLoader
is there any good ServerAPI libraries, which I can use or rework to prevent rewriting standart code lines.
i am sending a flash reqesut to a url when i make request from local computer its working but when i upload on my server its not working i think flash is not sending request from my server to another server
I'm trying to reproduce a POST request that was captured from WireShark using PHP. This POST request was sent by a Flash (.swf) object, so it's a little bit complicated in configuring the header.It does not print out anything in the end, so there must be something wrong with PHP code that I could not see.Here is what WireShark captured:
POST /engine/ HTTP/1.1
Host: abcdef.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
I am trying to develop a P2P conferencing application in flex using RTMFP. So I have to make connection to Adobe Stratus server for Id of Flash Player instance. I am a student and behind the http proxy. I have checked in NetConnection class but, didn't find anything related proxy configuration.So, How can I configure proxy settings for my flex application.
I am trying to access html files protected by basic authentication. Below is the code to do that but I still get the authentication dialog. I checked the fiddler and found that for the first request authorization header is present but for the subsequent requests which is requested to load the .js, css & images the authorization header is not added. This is the reason I am getting the auth dialog. Is there a way to add authorization header to the subsequent requests as well?
I can't use a proxy server. Can't use google app engine etc. I can't use server side code. No php or python. I need to be able to do logins to twitter and post status updates to twitter through an Actionscript 3 web application. The biggest thing is obviously getting around twitter's crossdomain. Is there a clean ajax version of this or something?
I'm new to Flex and couldn't figure out yet how to send binary data to the server as the body of a POST request. The HTTPService component doesn't seem to support this. The FileReference doesn't seem to support setting the data via the Flex API.
The JAX-RS service receives the request and respond successfully with some dummy response, but I have no access to the request.data field.
How do I access the data of the request message (which is {"type":"get_configuration","data":"some data"} in this particular example)? I think that I'm supposed to add some parameters to the handleMessage method like
public SomeResponse handleMessage(Object message) {...
but this does not work at all. The request got 415 response.
I have a PHP process that does a bunch of stuff and I want to send feedback to the Flash client that calls it, as the request is being processed. However, since I'm listening for the COMPLETED event, I don't get the feedback until the PHP completes execution (at which time all the buffered messages arrive at once).
I'm trying to use JMeter to test our web application and I'd like to use an automated recording of tests but our UI is in flash/flex. Is there any way to get the proxy server to cooperate with the flash/flex? I do have control of both the client and server sides, though rewriting our application to redirect the flash/flex calls to another address isn't really an option. If there were an automated way...
I'm currently testing Windows client and server, but I also need to support testing on Linux client and server. If tests need to be created on one or the other and can be ported to both I could live with that.
I'm trying to upload images with Uploadify but I run into IO error. I have gotdemo and it works on my computer, so I decided to implement functionality of my application to this example step by step to catch the error and discovered that the reason of IO error is my local proxy.pac (I use FF):
function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { if (shExpMatch(host, "*.app.local*")) { return "PROXY 127.0.0.1:3000";
is it possible for flash widge on site a.com to send POST request to b.com ?If so, couldn't this be quite dangerous ? A user would be performing POST to an unknown host
How can I post a tweet directly to twitter without needing to use a server-side proxy script (ie, tweetr)? Can a twitter API call be made directly from a swf?
I have created a client with Flex Builder which works in a browser but also in an Air windowed application. I must connect it to a server and it has to do asynchronous request related to changing data of the server.Because of the too much expensive cost of LiveCycleDS license, I was looking for other ways, maybe open source and i found the following solutions:
Adobe BlazeDS Granite Data Services WebORB Community Edition
I want to ask you which is the easy way to create the solution described above, expecially i want to use J2EE application server type.
Somebody I know can't watch because they have a proxy server.The nc.connect() call to get the live stream fails because it goes direct from AS3 to FMS and doesn't go through the proxy server.
I'm trying to send a video stream to a Red5 server using Flex.
My Red5 setup seems to work for remote method invocations and shared objects, but I've yet to succeed in getting video working.
This is the AS3 code that connects to Red5:
# connect to RTMP server netConnection.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler); netConnection.connect("rtmp://localhost/context_name"); # omitted code for waiting for connection success, and setting up shared
[Code].....
As said, note that the Red5 setup works flawlessly for remote method invocations and shared objects, but not for video which is strange.
I have a video file in my local system.I am using windows XP in my system. Now i want to send this video file byte array to server in Flash Builder (Flex 4). I am using PHP at server end.
I have been working on a Flex application that sends a feed from my webcam to the Flash Media server. The application connects to the server fine but for some reason the camera is not sending anything to the Media Server. I am pretty sure that the answer to my question is really simple but I need another set of eyes to llok at my code and tell me what I am doing wrong.
When Flex application make an asynchronus HTTP request, does it add a special header to the request, like some JavaScript framework does? Something that indicates whether this request is an AJAX call/not.I just want my server side code to return different response format, depending on whether the request is made from browser/flex.
Is it possible to use Apache to proxy/tunnel RTMP(S) traffic through to Flash Media Server?Basically, I want to tunnel RTMP traffic using HTTP through Apache.What I want to be able to do is open up an appropriate port (either 80 or 443) on the Apache server and have that proxy traffic through to Flash Media Server. The reason I ask is that I have set-up this scenario but I keep getting a "NetConnection.Connect.Failed" error message; I captured the network traffic flowing between my machine and the server and it is connecting to the server, just nothing happens after that.Do I have to connect directly to Flash Media Server?
ActionScript 3 can send UDP packets via flash.net.DatagramSocket. Is their any way to send an ICMP packet? I'd also like to set the TTL flag so I can implement traceroute in an SWF.
Is there any client-side technology to send get request with unencoded query string?I want to send some reserved symbols to server in URL without url encoding (eg. '>' or ']'). (I want to test server's behavior).
An XMLHttpRequest encodes these symbols automatically.
