That's exactly right. It does work on FFX. It is only the combination of IE/Tomcat/SSL and Auth. I would look this over again and make sure restarted tomcat, etc.

Unfortunately, this did not fix my problem. Its definately an IE problem, it runs ok in Firefox.

This was posted to the web forums by Dave Wolf from our company. I haven't seen it post out here yet and it's been several hours so here is the explanation and resolution to the problem.

This is a bug in IE6 caused by the cache-control headers being set by
Tomcat 5.X when combined with HTTP auth and SSL and binary content
such as a swf.

The fix is the following which will disable setting the proper but
troublesome cache-control header.

In the flex web app, add a META-INF directory. Inside of that
directory create a document

context.xml

Within this file add the following line.

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator" disableProxyCaching="false" />

If you are using BASIC instead of form just use

<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.BasicAuthenticator" disableProxyCaching="false" />

Youre problem will go away.

Steve,

For that cert to work, you've got to import it into IE first, I'm pretty sure.

All,

I am trying to get my Flex app working under https. I running with Tomcat using a self-signed certificate. I modified flex-config and opened up the http service whitelist to accept any https url. To kick it off and find the first point of failure, I just changed my url to

https://localhost:8443/myApp/main.jsp. The jsp loads my swf file.

After a security popup warning, IE is hung trying to load https://localhost:8443/anywhere/flex-internal/secure/history/history.html. This file or its directory does not exist. Can someone explain what Flex is doing?'
