Flash :: Retrieve A Cookie From An HTTP Response In As3 Without Using Script?
Dec 1, 2010
My swf will potentially live on sites with embed codes that do not allow script access to the movie. I need to pull a cookie from response which is typically simple using javascript, but as the swf does not have access to script, javascript is not an option. Can I access cookies or the cookie header in the response? If that is not possible is there any access to the raw response, headers and all?
So I want to read http streams using flash tcp sockets. I do not really need the http header at all - all I need is body which contains flv. so how to read http response body into byte array using flash sockets?
I've got a simple YouTube API client put together, written in Flex, that uses a plain ol' URLRequest object to handle Google's "ClientLogin" authentication scheme. Everything works perfectly, except for one case: when Google responds with a 403 and a response body indicating that I should prompt the user for additional information (specifically, a CAPTCHA request).
The problem I'm having is that in this case, I need to be able to retrieve the body of the 403 response, as the body contains information Google expects me to use to assemble the CAPTCHA (e.g., an image URL, etc.). It looks like Flash fails to populate the URLLoader's data property when it encounters a 403 (which is where the response body would normally show up), so I can't tell the difference between a "403: Login Failed" and a "403: Login Succeeded, but We Want a CAPTCHA".
As a backup, I figured I'd have a look at as3crypto's TLSSocket code, but I haven't been able to make any of that stuff work with Google (or even one of my own SSL certs, for that matter).
Is it possible to access the body ofa 403 response with Flash (and if so, how)? And if not,Does anyone have personal experience with a suitable workaround?
I have a flex app that uses AMF to talk to a Spring Java backend. How do I get the values of cookies that have been set by the server and are being sent back by AMF?
I tried using both HTTPService and URLRequest/URLLoader. But I can't figure out how to get either the response output or the response headers in case of a server error(like 500).
I am trying to read data from the java web service from flex mxml/action script, seems like the call i.e request/response is successfully but when unable to read the value from the response[code]...
I'm using URLLoader to POST to a server. The xml response from the server can respond with a 404 or a 403 (forbidden) error. However I am unable to get the response codes.
Here is the code
var urlString:String = "some url"; var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(urlString); var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
[Code]....
status is always 0 regardless whether i return 200, 400, 404, 301, 500, etc...
With the Actionscript code below I'm sending an array to the server and receiving two responses: the HttpStatus response and a header with several information, like server info, location, etc. Does anyone have an idea how to read these server information? I cannot find any method or class, which would read the header info.
I am using ActionScript 2.0 for my app development. I have checked XML and LoadVars class. These classes by default send/receive data either in XML or name/value pair format. I want to send data in JSON format and receive the response in JSON format. How can I achieve this behavior using AS2.0. I have noticed that AS3.0 has the capabilities to do so. My client platform doesn't support AS3.0.
We've setup a simple email sending bit of code that communicates with a server script. This is working fine but we're not able to capture the HTTP Status that is being returned by the server! We can see from the server and browser that the status '200' is being returned but for some reason the flash swf isn't picking it up. Is this a security issue?
Code: var EmailVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); EmailVariables.name = EnterEmail.Name_txt.text; EmailVariables.email = EnterEmail.EmailAddr_txt.text; [Code] .....
We are working on a plugin for the JWPlayer and I noticed that in Chrome specifically, we are running into issues with the 302 redirect urls that we're using. The JWPlayer is not recognizing the redirect which contains url-based flashvars which we need. So here's my question(s):
1) Is there a way using AS3 to get the response headers from a url when NOT using AIR?
2) Is there any known issues with Chrome and 302 redirects that might be enough to trip up Flash?
3) What is the best method to handle a 302 redirect? The current issue is that there is a queue'd process and none of the other steps can continue without the first one and if the first one fails because it didn't get the proper flashvars, then the whole thing fails.
I can retieve the data using standard http however the data will be required to connect to a https connection only.How do i go about doing this.I've looked a on the internet and cant find anything, The only thing i've found is crossdomain but i don't think im on the right lines with that.The flash movie will be exported and ran as a projector file rather than a thml embed swf.
I am sending the parameters from flex application through HTTP POST request to Python/PSP script. I am able to call PSP script from flex app using HTTP POST request, but i am not able to use/retrieve these parameters in Python/PSP
I am trying to connect my flex app to a CFC I have which calls a method. It's to test a login control, and when i put the correct credentials in, it comes back with the error: "SOAP Response cannot be decoded. Raw response: ".
I need to save email-id in my login form through the cookies. if I use shared object I am able to save but my requirement is need to save in cookies. How can I save? I got sample code from net. Attaching that code `package com {
import flash.external.ExternalInterface;
/** * The Cookie class provides a simple way to create or access * cookies in the embedding HTML document of the application.
Long time leecher, decided to join in and ask a question. I have a video auto play on a site i am working on [URL].. Issue is, it auto plays every time the page loads...
Is there a way for me to set a cookie that flash could look for and either choose a welcome back video or not auto play video?
EDIT: SharedObject is awesome. Ignore this i did it.
We have a flash video that was created for our project, we dont the source so we have to work around the compiled flash file. We are going to host the video on our domain and the video creates a sol cookie (flash cookie) file to store how far the user has proceeded though the video. So my plan is to access this cookie to see how far the user has progressed and then fire an event when they have finished the movie.
I have been googling for some help but haven't found to much. I have found out that its possible to do in javascript and I have found some .net sol file viewers but haven't seen any examples I can get my mind around.
I have watched the traffic that gets created with fiddler and every time the next button is clicked a new request is fired with the swt file that is being accessed. I would also be happy with tracking every time one of these swt files has been accessed as well.
I'm hoping to get pointed in the right direction here. The problem I'm having is trying to figure out how to read an HTML created cookie in Flash. I have a video player that should autoplay once in a 24hour period, the next day it should autoplay again for the end-user.This is what the script on the HTML page looks like that displays the Flash player and the cookie:[code]I did some searching and found this Have a HTML page play Flash movie only once (not when revisited...) but again this is just a Flash function which never allows for a restart in a certain time period.how do I read that var x(cookie) in Flash?
i have a flash application connected with a script on a remote server(X)different from the server hosting the website(Y)the application on server X needs to get some user information so i need to identify the user by what i have in the cookie
remote server X will get those informations from server Y is there any way i can get the user name or user id from the CAKEPHP cookie var?the authentication is the one found on cakephp website
I use an application which uses flash cookie to store some important information. This information is critical and should not be deleted. But I have observed that the flash cookie or the shared local object is getting deleted under the following situations. When the local history(including cookies) are deleted by the browser. When flash is upgraded in the system.
This is adversely affecting my application. Please let me know, if there is a way to forcefully retain the 'shared local object' by placing some kind of lock on it. It will be better if this can done programmatically.
I am trying to pass a cookie with multiple name/value pairs into flash and I would like to know if someone know how I can do this. I know that I need to pass the vars from the cookie to my Flash Params but I am not sure how I would do that, given that this is a multiple array cookie.
I'm working on a website based on flash. The first time you visit the site there will be asked to fill in your name (for example: George) and then you continue to the next 'page' in the flash. The next time you visit the site, i want that the site automaticly forwards to the last page, and there is a text 'hi, *name*' (hi, George)
I want to write a Flash application which need to access my browser(Internet Explorer)cookie. My program work well in all browser except Internet Explorer. This is part of my code:
Quote:
function test() { ExternalInterface.call("eval","alert(document.cook ie)"); }
