I would have thought that if you were hitting the maximum connections per host limitation then your requests would just queue and take longer to respond. Out of curiosity, how many fail and how many return data? Does the number change?
Are the 10 SWFs calling back to the same dev server hosting the SWFs, or are they hitting a different URL? If they are hitting a different URL, can you possibly host your swf on the remote URL and try again (ensuring that the URL used to load the SWF has exactly the same host name as the service being contacted)? You could try testing your theory by modifying the registry to allow IE to make more requests simultaneously, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282402 You could also try Firefox for comparison?

Hi, we've got a webservice with about 10 methods. When the application starts up it calls about 6 of them in quick succession (I'm currently chaining those calls). If I upload the SWF to our dev environment, create a tab-group in IE (10 tabs in total), with each tab loading the swf, I can load 10 instances of the application similtaneously. When I do that I'm seeing that several instances of the app are throwing errors like this: 18:06:08.273 | [ERROR] | mx.messaging.Producer | 'B8ED2C1F-ABBE-DB29-3DB4-1AC289775CF2' producer fault for 'F87115A3-7C5D-2F13-2EA0-1AC2ED13E733'.18:06:08.304 | [ERROR] | Tools.business.AbstractRPCConsumer.fault | faultCode:Server.Error.Request faultString:'HTTP request error' faultDetail:'Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://dev- ........ I'm pretty sure this is a server-side issue but want to make absolutely sure. The server logs in place don't show any errors (but I'm just a front-end guy looking at some custom error logs - I could easily be missing something!) - many of the Flex calls are getting rejected. Or could this be a red herring? Perhaps the browser is imposing a limits on the number of connections opened and I can't test things this way. If anyone has thoughts on whether I could be doing anything weird on the front-end to cause this please let me know. Thanks.
