RE: [flexcoders] Re: Weird behavior with Internet Explorer
Hmm, I'm trying to think of other known issues with Flex and CF in the same app. This may be a long shot, but I'll tell you about it anyway... Can you try appending some dummy query data such as ?a=b to the end your RemoteObject endpoint URI (if it doesn't have one already). i.e. if your RemoteObject endpoint is something like: /cfmx/flashservices/gateway change it to: /cfmx/flashservices/gateway?a=b The reason is that CFMX may be using standard J2EE session management rather than CFID/CFTOKEN. Perhaps your IE browser is sending some header (or not sending some header) that makes CFMX or the J2EE application container think you don't have cookie support. In this case, it is trying to send back an AMF Response Header to tell the client to append some ;jsessionid info to the URL so that on your next request it can maintain your session. When this AppendToGatewayUrl AMF response header is sent back, it is literally concatenated to the end of your endpoint. So it might look like this: /cfmx/flashservices/gateway;jessionid=DHDKJHER849527456845 While this is fine according to the J2EE servlet specification, this can cause problems with J2EE connectors (such as JRun's) and web servers such as IIS. Adding some query info to the URL: /cfmx/flashservices/gateway?a=b;jessionid=DHDKJHER849527456845 seems to satisfy the connector/IIS condition. You could prove this by first watching the AMF traffic to see if such a header was being sent or second, sniffing the network traffic to see that a Not Allowed HTTP error was being sent during the failure. I know this is a server side issue and I know you said this only happens in MSIE, but perhaps SP2 changes the default cookie settings for IE only? If you need a network sniffer, there's tons out there - JRun ships with a sniffer.exe which is useful for server side sniffing. Paros Proxy is an excellent client side proxy that also handles tracing HTTPS traffic coming to your browser. -Original Message- From: joao_m_fernandes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 10:36 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Weird behavior with Internet Explorer noup, Using http as protocol.

João, can I just clarify - does the problem you experienced only happen with a CF and Flex on the same context root and with XP SP2 clients? Are you using CF6.1 or 7?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Weird behavior with Internet Explorer
I believe the CFMX 7 team knows about this issue. They may be preparing a small update - but I'd suggest contact that team's support group directly for more info. Fortunately the work around is relatively simple - is it a major issue to have query string info? -Original Message- From: joao_m_fernandes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 12:09 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Weird behavior with Internet Explorer Indeed, It works fine now for every browser...
