That should be sufficient:
<%
response.sendError(401);
//or response.sendError(401, "My message");
%>
Concerning non-proxied SWF (Adobe-Doc for ActionScript "XML#onHTTPStatus"):
If Flash Player cannot get a status code from the server, or if it
cannot communicate with the server, the default value of 0 is passed
to your ActionScript code. A value of 0 can be generated in any player
(for example, if a malformed URL is requested), and a value of 0 is
always generated by the Flash Player plug-in when it is run in the
following browsers, which do not pass HTTP status codes to the player:
Netscape, Mozilla, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer for the Macintosh.
So for SWF, you must run in proxied-mode to have at least a chance to
get the http-status (i.e. through the LPS).
I'm taking a look at this. Can you tell me if there is an easy way to
you get Tomcat server to return a 401 code? If I mark a file as
unreadable, I am getting back a 404 code. <canvas width="100%"
height="80%" debug="true"> <debug fontsize="12"/> <dataset
name="mydata" src="http:foo.xml" onerror="Debug.write('onerror',
this.errorstring)" ondata="Debug.write('ondata', this.data)"
request="true"/> </canvas> this returns the following in the debugger
in swf8 ?LoadObj#0| err.lzx (loading)? ?LzLoader#1| err.lzx (loading)?
ERROR: data source error for
http://127.0.0.1:8080/trunk/test/post2/foo.xml: HTTP Status code:

404:Not Found' lzx> By the way, you won't be able to support full REST
API transactions in non-proxied mode in swf7/8 because the Flash
player does not let you specify PUT or DELETE request . These are
supported by the proxy server though, I am pretty sure. If they aren't
then it's a bug.. In DHTML, I believe PUT and DELETE request methods
are supported in SOLO mode. On Sun, Feb 24, 2008 at 8:07 AM, Elias
