Picking up on an old thread from back in July, where calling addHeader
on a NetConnection object got authentication working with Coldfusion....
when I try to do the same thing in Flex 2 Alpha 1, I get:
code: NetConnection.Call.Failed and description: HTTP: Failed
Does anyone know if addHeader is still supposed to be available, if its
a bug, or if the parameters have changed?
Yours truly,
-Brian
Credentials sent in custom manner are never sent using HTTP Headers. The
information is contained within the AMF/HTTP POST body.
The Flex-only API, setUsernamePassword, works on a per request basis and
sends credential information inside a special Flex Envelope type which
can have per-request headers. The legacy Flash Remoting setCredentials
API worked on a per AMF packet basis (which potentially contained a
batch of several requests as per NetConnection) and was sent as an AMF
Header. Either way, you can only have one J2EE or CF session per
connection, and connections are pooled on endpoint URI in Flex. So it
should be fine for you to use the old setCredentials() API in most
cases.
You could just call setCredentials() on the RemoteObject connection
property yourself... it simply sets an AMF Header on the underlying
NetConnection with an anonymous object that has two properties 'userid'
and 'password'.
addHeader("Credentials", false, {userid: userId, password:
password});

Thanks Vinny,
Im assuming theres no workaround for this? Im probably just gonna pass
the username and password as variables with each call then. Im using
the cairngorm framework and I have a delegate super class so I can
hide it all in there ;)
cheers,
