Re: Apache Flex AIR Application problems with a limitation of two HTTP request on windows

[radu birsan]

Hello,

Trying to figure out if Royale can log in to a existing BlazeDS server.
   Can somebody confirm the login works with Royale?
   I uploaded the project on git:
   https://github.com/radubirsan/MXBlazeDS

Thank you,
Rady

[Carlos Rovira]

Hi,
thanks for the suggestions, our problem is that server process is very
complex and calls lots of external services. All of that requires time.
It's clear that we need a refactor in server side.

I''ll be posting this on flex user list as Piotr says

thanks all for the support! :)

Hi Carlos,
just for the case if you end up to queue your requests:
There's a "PureMVC AsyncCommand utility" available which does something like
this [1]:

"The AsyncCommand utility offers a solution to the problem of executing a
series of commands each of which may need to complete one or more
asynchronous operations before the next command is executed."

I know you don't use PureMVC, but maybe it is helpful for some inspiration.

Re: Apache Flex AIR Application problems with a limitation of two HTTP request on windows

[Carlos Rovira]

Hi Olaf,

yes the problem is doing http request to same server, we tried to some
changes with subdomains and that works, but doesn't seem the best solution,
but somewhat "hacking" ;)

we're investigating some paths to solve this. Since this affects our
RemoteObject operations, our focus is in BlazeDS and ROs. So we're trying
to find ways that is already supported by Flex and BlazeDS. So as you say,
things like queuing could be an option, although I was expecting that
others was affected with this problem before and some way to overcome with
AIR in some official way...but seems it's not the case.

Anyway, I think we'll find some way finally that could fix our use case :)

Thanks for your suggestion :)

Carlos

Hi Carlos,

interesting topic, good to know about it!

If I understand it correctly, the connection limit is related to the same
domain name.
Maybe one solution could be to outsource heavy server-side requests to
another server/domain?

If that doesn't work, is it not just a possibility to queue your requests?

I don't understand why people are affraid of Flash ending in 2020. You can still stay on desktop with AIR and be successful with iOS and Android. People who are migrating on browsers are shooting themselves in the foot.

Ah okay .. do you have a choice of protocol when doing this? I’m not sure what the server side would support, but it looks like the “AMFChannel” class is defining protocol as “http”; if you could change that to “rtmp” then it would [I think]
 use a TCP socket rather than the Windows http functions..

 

My only other thought would be whether you could change the design of how the processing works so that it’s done more asynchronously i.e. one quick message from client to server to kick off the processing and then poll every second or so
 to see if it’s finished – but I’m not sure if that’s possible, I’ve not used remote objects or done the server side stuff…

 

Final option = a custom build of AIR, but that would be very expensive :-)

 

Good luck!

Hi,


 



we are in the process of encapsulate an existing Apache Flex app in Adobe AIR to overcome the #flash2020 problem with browsers.



 



In this transition, we found a problem with Adobe AIR in windows with a limit of two HTTP request to the same server. This seems due to Adobe AIR using WinlNet on Windows that has this 2 limit http request.



 



Seems we didn't saw this problem with Flex in browsers since those left behind this limit and allow this days 6 concurrent calls, but AIR, since used WinlNet, continues with the 2 concurrent call limit, that is a problem nowadays.



 



In the other hand don't find any reference to this problem on the internet, or some solution to apply in Adobe ARI, so maybe there's something I'm missing, since this problem should be found by many people trying to leverage existing Flex
 apps in AIR (or

Re: Apache Flex AIR Application problems with a limitation of two HTTP request on windows

[Alex Harui]

Two more ideas:


  1.  Switch to Royale
  2.  Didn’t Flex use custom HTTP code used in the Flex installer?  Maybe it 
will get around this limit, but I think it had other limits like proxy handling.

Many thanks for the suggestions Andrew!
We're doing some brainstorming and all those come very handy! :)

Ah okay .. do you have a choice of protocol when doing this? I’m not sure what 
the server side would support, but it looks like the “AMFChannel” class is 
defining protocol as “http”; if you could change that to “rtmp” then it would 
[I think] use a TCP socket rather than the Windows http functions..

My only other thought would be whether you could change the design of how the 
processing works so that it’s done more asynchronously i.e. one quick message 
from client to server to kick off the processing and then poll every second or 
so to see if it’s finished – but I’m not sure if that’s possible, I’ve not used 
remote objects or done the server side stuff…

Final option = a custom build of AIR, but that would be very expensive :-)

Good luck!

thanks

But you can hopefully override it using the windows registry (see [2])
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
MaxConnectionsPerServer can be set to a value higher than 2. I guess you’d need 
an ANE to manipulate the registry though..

I'm was thinking as well in an ANE, but was hoping that someone knows some 
other direct way from AIR to do this, since creating an ANE just for this is a 
bit cumbersome.


I’m curious how you’re connecting .. is it via a URLLoader type object, rather 
than a Socket? I don’t think the same limitation would be there if you just 
used TCP/IP sockets so you could potentially get around things that way..?

We are using RemoteObject/AMF call so I think we don't have AFAIK to use 
Sockets :(

RE: Apache Flex AIR Application problems with a limitation of two HTTP request on windows

Hi Carlos

This looks like it’s to do with http 1.1 .. see the final recommendations in 
8.1.4 of RFC 2616 [1]

But you can hopefully override it using the windows registry (see [2])
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
MaxConnectionsPerServer can be set to a value higher than 2. I guess you’d need 
an ANE to manipulate the registry though..

I’m curious how you’re connecting .. is it via a URLLoader type object, rather 
than a Socket? I don’t think the same limitation would be there if you just 
used TCP/IP sockets so you could potentially get around things that way..?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Apache Flex AIR Application problems with a limitation of 
two HTTP request on windows

Hi,

we are in the process of encapsulate an existing Apache Flex app in Adobe AIR 
to overcome the #flash2020 problem with browsers.

In this transition, we found a problem with Adobe AIR in windows with a limit 
of two HTTP request to the same server. This seems due to Adobe AIR using 
WinlNet on Windows that has this 2 limit http request.

Seems we didn't saw this problem with Flex in browsers since those left behind 
this limit and allow this days 6 concurrent calls, but AIR, since used WinlNet, 
continues with the 2 concurrent call limit, that is a problem nowadays.

In the other hand don't find any reference to this problem on the internet, or 
some solution to apply in Adobe ARI, so maybe there's something I'm missing, 
since this problem should be found by many people trying to leverage existing 
Flex apps in AIR (or even creating others).

Must say this problem is seen with request that needs several time (due to some 
server processing) to complete and send a response.

If anyone know some way to overcome this will be of great help

Thanks in advance for your help

Apache Flex AIR Application problems with a limitation of two HTTP request on windows

[Carlos Rovira]

Hi,

we are in the process of encapsulate an existing Apache Flex app in Adobe
AIR to overcome the #flash2020 problem with browsers.

In this transition, we found a problem with Adobe AIR in windows with a
limit of two HTTP request to the same server. This seems due to Adobe AIR
using WinlNet on Windows that has this 2 limit http request.

Seems we didn't saw this problem with Flex in browsers since those left
behind this limit and allow this days 6 concurrent calls, but AIR, since
used WinlNet, continues with the 2 concurrent call limit, that is a problem
nowadays.

In the other hand don't find any reference to this problem on the internet,
or some solution to apply in Adobe ARI, so maybe there's something I'm
missing, since this problem should be found by many people trying to
leverage existing Flex apps in AIR (or even creating others).

Must say this problem is seen with request that needs several time (due to
some server processing) to complete and send a response.
