Hi all,
I discovered a problem with uploading files to a server in flex2 using
FileReference.upload
(). My code includes something like this:
[...]
private var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference();
private function someHandler(event:Event):void {
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("band/upload_image");
fileRef.upload(request);
}
[...]
On the backend I use ruby on rails to handle the upload. The problem is that
every time
fileRef.upload(request); gets called a new session will be created in rails
(that means I have
to re-authenticate my user before every upload request). On the other hand, if
I replace
e.g. fileRef.upload(request); with navigateToURL(request,"_blank"); (even if
this makes no
sense here) the existing session will be used.
So why does fileRef.upload(...) creates a new server session on every request?
Is this a
bug?
Best regards
René
