Hi all, I've create the following ticket:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-708 It seems to be a core Flash Player issue, and not anything Flex-related, but if you care about Linux Flash Player, I'm not above begging for votes. -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com -----Original Message----- From: Maciek Sakrejda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com To: flexcoders <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Subject: [flexcoders] URLRequest, ByteArray, and the 0 byte Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2008 12:36:10 -0700 I've run into an interesting problem with URLRequest, navigateToURL, and ByteArray when sending a zero byte: var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray(); bytes.writeByte(1); bytes.writeByte(1); bytes.writeByte(1); bytes.writeByte(1); requestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/octet-stream"); // Where ../../test is just a valid dummy url--it doesn't matter what it // actually does with the request request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../../test"); request.requestHeaders.push(header); request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; request.data = bytes; navigateToURL(request, "_blank"); I write four bytes above, because that seems to be a minimum for URLRequest (if I write just one byte, the Content-Length header is set to 4 anyway), but that's a separate issue. If I change one of those bytes.writeByte(1) to bytes.writeByte(0) The byte array seems to be truncated to the location of that byte. In general, any ByteArray sent as a data property payload of a URLRequest seems to be truncated to the location of the first zero byte. I've confirmed this by checking the Content-Length header of the POST request (in fact, if the *first* byte is zero, the request seems to be turned into a GET--which is even weirder). I'm using FP 9.0.124.0 on Linux. I just tested on a colleague's machine, and this seems to work fine in FP on Vista. Is this a known issue? Is there any way around this? -- Maciek Sakrejda Truviso, Inc. http://www.truviso.com
