Uploading BitmapData as photo instead of file from disk

[Daniel]

Wouter, were you ever able to get the direct upload working? (..also,
the link you provided in your first message is broken...could you
repost?)

Does anybody else have thoughts on directly posting to Flickr via
HTTPService? I'm trying to add a function to my AIR application that
will directly load a screen capture to Flickr...everything is fine all
the way up to actually sending the image :-(

Thanks for any ideas.

Daniel,

no, I did not find a workaround to get the direct bitmap upload
working. Flash does enforce its security measures (which are in place
for good reason), and Flickr did not add the required allow-http-
request-headers-from-domain directive in their crossdomain.xml. Flickr
disappointed me in this. It takes 5 minutes, they have nothing to
loose, yet they choose to completely ignore this humble request.

I had to make do with a stupid relay of the bitmap through a different
server.

this is the (new) link:
