I am trying to make a HTTPService or URLRequest call to a remote service. This call needs user authentication and I tried to put username/password into the code and use the request header to send these parameter. So far no success in making the call. Some search indicates may has something to do with URLRequstHeader and Authorization. See the below link from a blog. It said that whether they [Your application] are created with Flex 2, Flex 3, AS3 or Flash IDE. If its headed for the browser and your user has updated to Flash Player 9.0.115 this code will error. Is this true? If so, what is the alternative to get around with login prompt?
