Ted On Flash: HTTP Client using Socket

HTTP Client using Socket

I chatted with Abdul about this yesterday. It seems that creating an HTTP Client using flash.net.Socket is feasible. My initial test examples resulted in the ability for AS3 to read/write Cookies and Auth headers as well as supporting multiple HTTP requests over a single socket connection. I sent Abdul some code and he put together a great example using HTTP Auth headers over HTTP. Great Work Abdul!

HTTP Authentication for HTTP/GET requests using ActionScript 3

I am driving to DC this weekend and hopefully this will be my last move for at least a year. See ya in DC! :)

Cheers,

Ted :)

Dear Ted,

Can you clarify on the topic
can mx:HTTPService read/write cookie values at the server side?

Christophe Coenraets was doing some demo back in 2004, but unfortunately, currently his blog is down.

I looked at the page from Google Cache:
