RE: [flexcoders] Cannot get Accept-Language from HTTP header with httpService

[Matt Chotin]

OK, we’ve filed a bug against the Player to ask them to enable this (it does show up from Firefox but not IE) but I don’t know if we’ll get it into the update that’s in beta now (they’re pretty locked down).   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Hastings Sent: Saturday, October 14, 2006 11:17 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Cannot get Accept-Language from HTTP header with httpService   On 10/15/06, Matt Chotin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]com> wrote: > Maybe you can just use ExternalInterface to read the browser's language? I think there's navigator.language or navigator.userLanguage? for ff it's navigator.language for ie it's navigator.browserLanguage but neither is a real substitute for HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE. for instance navigator.language is telling me my language is "en-US" but HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE is telling me a lot more, "en,th;q=0.7,ja,ar;q=0.3", combining those bits with some simple IP-based geocoding provides a pretty reliable "guess" (>90% correct) as to a user's locale. access to other CGI bits from within flex would be nice, for instance something like PATH_TRANSLATED is really useful for self-configuring apps if things need to read/wwritten to the server filesystem. __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company Your email settings: Individual Email|Traditional Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
