Unfortunately HEAD is only supported when using HTTPService with the Proxy, the Player doesn't allow that method. We're hoping that Apollo might and that a future version of the Player might as well.

Is there a way to do the same in an ActionScript-only project? (I tried using a simple socket, but I can't ensure a wide-open crossdomain policy.) Basically, what I need to accomplish is to determine the URL of a resource (an MP3 or FLV) after any server redirects. This is handled transparently by the Player (it just follows the redirects), but I need to know the final URL. Thanks, -DT
