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?
