Hi Brian,
That request has been logged with the player team (as well
as a request for WebDAV support). No guarantees on whether or when either of
these could be
supported.
Best,
Seth

[flexcoders] Re: httpservice method="DELETE" does not work
Thanks for the
clarification. Any idea if there are plans to have
flash fully support the
other request methods like DELETE?
Currently we don't have the option of
spending $20K per CPU for FDS
just to get REST
support.
Thanks,
Brian

send a proxied PUT/DELETE/OPTIONS/etc. request is
sent to FDS and
the server builds and sends the actual HTTP request and
returns the
response to the player. The proxy also handles fault responses
in
the 500 range and returns them to the player in a form that
HTTPService can process usefully (the player doesn't handle
responses in
the 500 range). We have Pete Farland to thank for all
that :)
