As I understand what you are asking, yes. Do something like this: Var oRequest:Object = new Object();
oRequest.myArg1 = "myValue1"; oRequest.myArg2 = "myValue2"; myHTTPService.send(oRequest); myArg1 and 2 become posted "form" variables, normally accessible server-side from the page Request object. Some folks have tried to put credentials in the header, but not with much success, I gather. There is an AS3 class out there that does MD5 encryption. I have a simple example here, using either jsp or aspx. The MD5 example is for aspx only: http://www.cflex.net/showfiledetails.cfm?ChannelID=1&Object=File&objectI D=556 Tracy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jon Bradley Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 7:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] XMLHTTPRequest in Flex instead of Javascript On the same line of thought, since HTTPRequest seems to be one of the answers to my problem, has anyone tried to perform user authentication through that? The system we're developing uses servlets for all communication - but it creates these dynamically as we define pages that contain 'portals' (every page is a dynamically created JSP page basically) in the backend system. Am I correct to assume that if I can do a form post in an XHTML page, I can convert that post to the HTTPRequest in Flex? thanks all! jon
