Flex Basic Authentication and Sandbox violation

[marco....@gmail.com]

Hi
I'm delevoping a webapp using Flex as frontend and a webapp using
Spring.

The webapp uses the basic authentication system. I extended your lib
in order to provide basic authentication feature to the Flex
application.

When I run the application inside the Flex Builder, or opening the
wrapper html it works. If I deploy my application in an application
server, it provides me this error.

Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security
sandbox violation: http://localhost/flex/main.swf cannot load data
from localhost:80.

The webapp is deployed on a tomcat at port 8080. There is an Apache
Server that works as a proxy on port 80. On the Apache Server I
defined the crossdomain.xml file that allows all domain.

Do you have any suggestion to solve this problem??

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, my brain just recently exploded investigating this topic... :
( The problem is in order to use flash.net.Socket (which is how this
HTTP client is implemented), you need to have a flash socket policy
server. (While in the sandbox of the Flash runtime; AIR does not have
this restriction.) I think that this restriction is for 9.0.125 and
above... but I'm not sure.

I would check out:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/socket_policy_files.html

To debug I would use a standalone flash debug player with logging
configured and you will see it attempt to connect to flash socket
policy server at port 843.

I think it all stems from paranoia (probably justified) about using
sockets from a plugin in a browser. Its hard though when security
models totally cripple an API :(
