Ah, good find. HTTPService won't support setCredentials without the proxy, we need to prevent that error from coming through. When you don't use the proxy the only way you can send credentials to your service is via HTTP authentication which means that the browser will pop up its dialog, you can't do custom because the Player doesn't allow us to assign the Authorization header.
I'll file a bug about the error.

I'm using the latest beta. So, here's my test code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2005/mxml"; xmlns="*" layout="absolute" backgroundColor="#ffffff" creationComplete="httpService.setCredentials('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', 'password');httpService.send();"> <mx:HTTPService id="httpService" url="http://www.aviflax.com/feed"; useProxy="false" resultFormat="text"/> <mx:Text id="text1" x="0" y="0" width="100%" height="100%" text="{httpService.result.toString()}"/> </mx:Application> If I remove the setCredentials() call, it works fine. If I add it, then the send() method throws this error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert C:\dev\enterprise_beta1\frameworks\libs\framework.swc(mx/core/mx_interna l)$34::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to C:\dev\enterprise_beta1\frameworks\libs\framework.swc(mx/validators/Vali dator)$132.DirectHTTPMessageResponder at mx.messaging.channels::DirectHTTPChannel/mx.messaging.channels:DirectHTT PChannel::internalSend() at mx.messaging::Channel/setCredentials() at mx.messaging::ChannelSet/setCredentials() at mx.messaging::MessageAgent/set channelSet() at mx.rpc.http::HTTPService/send() at mx.rpc.http.mxml::HTTPService/send() at pxQuoteClientMockup/___Application1_creationComplete() at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent() at mx.core::UIComponent/mx.core:UIComponent::dispatchCreationCompleteEvent( ) at mx.core::UIComponent$/http://www.macromedia.com/2005/flex/mx/internal::d ispatchCreationCompleteEvents() at mx.managers::LayoutManager/mx.managers:LayoutManager::doPhasedInstantiat ion() at mx.core::UIComponent/mx.core:UIComponent::callLaterDispatcher2() at mx.core::UIComponent/mx.core:UIComponent::callLaterDispatcher() I posted at the Adobe Labs Forums but (as usual) got no helpful answers - just a confirmation from someone else having the same problem: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid= 584&threadid=1113869 Help!
