Hi @ll, currently I'm working on accessing a SAP web service (ABAP stack). The SAP system resides on a different host, so reading the cross-domain policy file is an issue, which requires HTTP basic authentication.
While using Internet Explorer, everything works like a charm and as expected. Using the FireFox 2.0.0.3 version, the Flex application "hangs" after reading the cross-domain policy file. I introduced a 30s timeout, to see any response at all. Switching to Flash 9,0,0,45 made no difference. I debugged the HTTP traffic using a HTTP proxy server: besides GETting the cross-domain policy, no further traffic was observed. In unison with the proxy result, no HTTP traffic is displayed in "Live Headers" of FireFox. As an additional remark: the policy file is fetched twice - the first time without a port specification, the second time with port 80. This is to avoid a security sandbox violation as the SAP system sends a WSDL endpoint which includes the port. As found here in the messages archive, I increased the FireFox configuration parameter network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server from default "2" to "8", that made no difference. Here is the console output: SWF /flash/TestCim1-debug.swf - 922.373 bytes after decompression Registering schema namespace: http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema Registering schema namespace: http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema Registering schema namespace: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema Registering schema namespace: http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ Registering schema namespace: http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap Registering schema namespace: http://rpc.xml.coldfusion 'CC3508C5-6BE9-2BC9-7957-50FE683C98FC' producer set destination to 'DefaultHTTP'.

Flex Data Services is currently not an option - everything works fine if using IE. Any ideas about what may cause this problem? How to further diagnose? Thanks in advance, Brunôt.
