[Flashcoders] MD5, escape and ASP.NET-urlEncode
Hello folks, just wanted to tell you something and ask for something. Something to tell: ActionScript function escape escapes . and , ASP.NET function urlEncode does not escape . and escapes as +. So Strings escaped in ActionSript will NOT resemble strings urlEncoded in ASP.NET! I came across this while trying to make highscore- and user-management for a small flash game where the swf movie has to communicate with ASP.NET. ASP.NET does NOT offer ActionScripts escape-function, and ActionScript does NOT offer ASP.NETs urlEncode-function. Keep this in mind whereever your swf has too deal with ASP.NET! - Or else tell me the truth, please! Furthermore I am looking for a MD5-implementation for ActionScript, that will work properly on special characters. You can give it a try yourself, when entering a ß oder ä into any of those HTML-/web-based MD5-generators. Depending on which one you use, you will get two different result hashes. Needless to say that the usual MD5-implementation used with actionscript (there oonly seems to be one version out there) results in a different md5-hash than that used with ASP.NET. Again, please tell me, when you know I'm wrong here.

The encoding of the space to a plus sign is something of an anomaly. The plus sign is just a safe version of a space in a _query_string_, which is part of an URL. The dot is a safe character and doesn't need to be _URL_ encoded, so escape() does more than just URL encoding. (The Adobe AS dictionary is, as always, not shedding any light on the subject.) yourself, when entering a ß oder ä into any of those HTML-/web-based MD5-generators. Depending on which one you use, you will get two MD5 works on bits, not such abstract notions as letters. There are many ways to turn an ä into bits, which is why your results differ. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
