If i'm not wrong, this is security restriction in Flash player. Some headers like Referer and the like shouldn't be added or modified by untrusted program (e.g. flash movie) I would consider using binary sockets to implement your own http stack, if you need these headers badly.

Seems to work as expected for both GET and POST under AIR. Using web browsers the custom headers are only included for POST when using HTTPService and never for URLLoader. Couldnt find in the docs if this is by design or a bug since they lead me to believe this should be possible (except for the blacklisted headers). > > Thanks, > > - Ivo > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: ivo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 11:51:32 AM > Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Is setting custom headers on HTTPService for a GET possible? > > > Debugging a bit further shows that the same behavior happens when using a URLLoader.
