I can not access Appengine from flex using httpservice when I use IE6,
using get and post.

Did someone have this problem too?

use a network sniffer or transparent proxy to figure out what the
differences are, and address them.

Could you be a little more specific about what it means that you can
not aceess App engine?

One guess that I have as to what your problem could be....
If you have your swf file stored on another server or on your local
computer you will need to have a cross domain policy file in the root
of your app engine application so that your flash client can
"authinicate" that it is OK to call the httpservice.

If you application works in Flex Developer the Bin-Debug folders are
excluded from having to make this chcek because they are listed in the
client as "trusted" sites.

I developed  an Flex+Opensocial+GoogleMaps+Appengine program.
It's OK when I use IE7, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera.

I use Flex HttpService access Appengine to read a xml file.
Everytime I use it on IE6, I get a http error.

I test it on HttpService+IE6+Apache+PHP, there's no problem.

I believe it's a problem of HttpService+IE6+Appengine.

Thanks Andrew,

I don't know much at sniffer. Do you have some advice on what's software is good?

Do you get any information about the http error?

Your Flex application is going to run in the flash browser
plugin.....are IE6 and 7 using the same version? You might try
installing the debug version and see if you get any additional error
information. (I think that IE also caches the httpservice request
that your flex app is making, so might try clearing ie6 cache to make
sure that you are not getting an old version of the data.)

If you go directly to the service page in a browser session can you
visually see any difference in IE6 and IE7.

on your sniffer question......here is some person experience, but
Andrew may know of better options.
I have used Wire shark as a sniffer before and it has been very
helpful. tcpmon is also a good tool, but I am pretty sure they
operate at different OSI layers. Tcpmon may be all you need, but if
you want to see the data frame by frame then you need a sniffer tool
like Wire shark.

Fiddler2 should help with the IE traffic.

 

Firebug can help you track the FF traffic

I have the same problem with my flex application and IE6. I can't shed
any insight at the moment - just wanted to let you know that I see the
same problem too. For now I can get away with letting my soon to be
users know not to use IE6.
