Thanks Matt,
You know I just assumed addHeader was a public function because it
showed up in the Flash Help. But of course you're right. It only does
that because I've installed the Flash Communication Server and the entry
is only in the server-side ASD.
When the Remoting classes were completely changed after Flash 7 shipped
I didn't bother with them. I just started using the NetConnection
directly - it worked fine and actually reduced my swf size a little. It
wasn't hard to figure out how to set credentials from the remoting code:
public function setCredentials(userId:String, password:String ):Void
{
addHeader("Credentials", false, {userid: userId, password:
password});
}
And then all I had to do was load the RecordSet class. Aside from a
small saving in file size it saved me a ton of work.
At any rate since you folks have gone to the trouble of implementing:
gateway_conn.objectEncoding = flash.net.ObjectEncoding.AMF0
I do feel you should complete the job and implement everything required
to fully support existing implementations of AMF0 including
authentication via http headers.
I understand you are really busy and want to say thanks for looking into
this.
Yours truly,
-Brian
