Hello, I'm trying to download a file from the server which requires basic authentication(need to enter user name and password to access).
I came across these links: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/509219/flex-3-how-to-support-http-authentication-urlrequest http://johncblandii.com/2011/07/flex-quick-tip-urlrequest-basic-auth.html http://blog.derraab.com/2010/02/25/urlrequest-with-http-authentication/ Tried all of it. I either get IO error or I get windows authentication popup window when I run the mobile app on my desktop. None of it seem to work. I'm using Flex4.14\AIR16. Screenshot: http://pbrd.co/18wmsZK Code that I have been trying: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <s:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"; xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" title="Contact" > <s:layout> <s:VerticalLayout/> </s:layout> <fx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.events.FlexEvent; import mx.utils.Base64Encoder; private var remoteURLStreamer:URLStream= new URLStream(); private var pathRemote:String = ' http://myserver.com/datafiles/myfile.zip'; private function startRemoteFileDownload():void { URLRequestDefaults.setLoginCredentialsForHost(' www.myserver.com','myusername','mypassword'); // not working remoteURLStreamer.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, remoteURLStreamerProgressHandler); remoteURLStreamer.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, remoteURLStreamerIOErrorHandler); remoteURLStreamer.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, remoteURLStreamerSecurityErrorHandler); var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pathRemote); req.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; req.data = new URLVariables("name=John+Doe"); //(one post suggests to pass dummy parameters to data) not working var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder(); encoder.insertNewLines = true; encoder.encode("myusername:mypassword"); var credsHeader:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + encoder.toString()); //not working req.requestHeaders.push(credsHeader); remoteURLStreamer.load(req); } private function remoteURLStreamerProgressHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void { switch (event.type) { case "progress": lb.text = event.bytesLoaded.toString(); break; } } private function remoteURLStreamerIOErrorHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void { lb.text = 'IOError'; } private function remoteURLStreamerSecurityErrorHandler(event:SecurityErrorEvent):void { lb.text = 'SecurityError'; } protected function button1_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void { startRemoteFileDownload(); } ]]> </fx:Script> <s:Button label="hello" click="button1_clickHandler(event)"/> <s:Label id="lb" text="Hello"/> </s:View> Can you kindly let me know if there is something going wrong here? Or is there any other way to make it work?
