Hi, I ran into the same problem, here's a (very old) summary of the problem: http://verveguy.blogspot.de/2008/07/truth-about-flex-httpservice.html
I've found these workarounds: 1) Using " X-HTTP-Method-Override" (Server side must support this): http://blog.arulprasad.com/2010/12/http-put-delete-from-actionscript-rest.html https://cambiatablog.wordpress.com/2010/08/10/287/ 2) Add an additional argument e.g. "method" to your request and implement a "proxy service" at server side that interprets this argument and calls the origin REST service ...?_method=PUT/DELETE... Any news to this issue are very welcome ;-) Olaf -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Christofer Dutz [mailto:christofer.d...@c-ware.de] Gesendet: Montag, 7.

The backend server is a REST service communicating in JSON. While my Flex client is currently way beyond the others, I just stumbled over a problem which I don't quite know how to work around. The problem is that the REST service accepts GET, PUT, DELETE and POST requests. I was pretty surprised to find out the Flex doesn't seem to support PUT and DELETE. The reasoning behind this seems to be related with Browsers not supporting these. Is this still the case? I think a lot of the modern JSFrameworks make heavy usage of REST services. Anyway I am creating an AIR application, so I don't care about browsers anyway. Is there a way around this to make REST PUT and DELETE calls possible? I have tried the URLRequest approach, but this doesn't seem to work. Is this a restriction from the dark ages and we could make Flex work with PUT and DELETE or is this a restriction of the Flashplayer or AIR runtime?
