Sockets go through the OS network layer. I'm sorry you haven't seen the Player sending cookies, in most of my scenarios using a Player that runs in an HTML page I've seen the headers being sent across.
I'm also sorry that there isn't a published workaround for you right now, but I don't think we consider it the best use of our time to rewrite an HTTP stack in AS3 for this issue when we've been working with vendors to find solutions. I know you think that as a big company we have infinite resources but we simply don't, and this is one of the issues where we've had to make some tough decisions. Believe me, I ran meetings for multiple weeks on this issue alone to see if we could find a better way.

Also I have never seen the Flash Player include the browsers cookies in requests. This has been a big complaint of mine for a very long time. They only way I could get a session shared with the browser was to pass in the session id using External Interfaces. And why can't you give us a workaround? Like a stack we can include in our projects that isn't part of the player. This issue almost made Flex/Flash irrelevant to my current project. I had to fight for weeks to be able to use it. In the end I made some false promises that I had hoped adobe would get it fixed soon. If I had the time and resources I'd fix it myself. --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Matt Chotin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well, the Player uses the browser's network stack so that it can be in > sync with what the browser is doing (cookies) as well as reduce the > amount of code we have to include in the runtime (size is critical as > you know).
