RE: [flexcoders] HTTPService error strings

[Cynthia Lee]

Doh!  I could never get the proxy to work in my environment.  Every time I made an HTTPService call, I would get a generic “Could not retrive data”” error.  Once I turned the proxy off, the HTTService calls would work fine – except for the ability to pass back any errors from the service call.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt Chotin Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 5:48 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] HTTPService error strings   Are you going through the proxy?  If you avoid the proxy you won’t get any useful information because the Flash Player can’t return it.  If you go through the proxy it tries to convert the error into something that Flex can interpret and therefore propagate up to you.   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cindy Lee Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2005 9:55 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] HTTPService error strings   I would like to catch custom errors coming back from HTTPService calls, but all Flex returns as the error string is a generic "Cound not retrieve data" message.  I thought I had this working in the Flex 1.0 eval version by having the backend script simply return a string in the format: Status: 400: My custom error with either no Content-Type line, or with the Content-Type line after the status line, but this doesn't work now (with Flex 1.5).  Does anyone know what I should have the backend cgi script return in order for Flex to be able to see the custom error?
