HTTP Cookie via ActionScript

[smalik]

I just upgraded my IDE to Flex Builder 3 Beta 2 and I am seeing this
rather discomforting error:

Error #2096: The HTTP request header Cookie cannot be set via
ActionScript.
ArgumentError: Error #2096: The HTTP request header Cookie cannot be
set via ActionScript.
at flash.net::URLStream/load()
at flash.net::URLLoader/load()

I am using a URLLoader to request some data and I am setting HTTP
Session Cookie in the header. This used to work fine for Flex 2 and
Flex 3 Beta 1 as well.

Has Adobe changed some implementation there now or is it "in transit"
issue for beta 2 and may eventually go away. Any one has any news?
Abdul? Mrinal? Anyone?

Regards,
Sandeep

Sorry dude, I have no clue :D
I glanced through the release notes and they don't have anything about this.

URLLoader and URLStream are both in flash.net package so this could have something to do with flash player versions ... just guessing

Yup,

I guess the issue was with Flash Player. I installed another version
and its working now. The issue is resolved for the time being, but I
am not sure if they are planning to do some thing like this with new
version of player. Lets see...

Thanks guys,
Sandeep

You found this issue in newer version of player? The beta one?

Yeah the version of player which comes with Flex 3 Beta 2. After that
I reinstalled Flex Builder 2 again (which I had removed in favor of
Flex 3 Builder Beta 2), re built the app and ran it again. This time
it worked. The unsettling thing is both times when I ran the app (one
with Flex 3 B2 and the second with Flex 2) and clicked "About Adobe
Flash Player", it took me to the web page where it said I had 9.0.0.28
version installed. Both times! So, I don't know what crap is going on,
though the issue is 100% reproducible every time I run my app built
with Flex 3 B2.

You can keep flexbuilder3, just install player from adobe site, it
would install release version not beta. I am gonna check this and file
bug or let them know.

The latest gold version is 9,0,47,0
I have Flex Builder 3 and I have 9,0,60,235
Latest moviestar version on labs is 9.0.64.0

You should probably confirm which version are you seeing the problem on.

They released a production version of moviestar yesterday on Adobe's
site, and this bug is still there!!! What can we do? Is it really a
"bug", or is it a new built in "security feature"? My apps are going
to break when people update to this new version!!

That's not a bug rather a security feature... Previous versions of player allowed it because of a bug...

Flash player is not supposed to set Cookie, cookies are sent whenever you make a http-request (via Flash Player API)... You can rather, set the cookie using ExternalInterface + JavaScript and it would be sent automatically on request...

Hello,

could you explain how this is accomplished in javascript? Where does setting the cookie take place in the workflow?
