Dan. If you are not using a proxy service like BlazeDS... anything other than an HTTP200 is going to cause your Flex application fits. If you are looking for the notion of a 'successful failure' where an operation completed (e.g. a partial save) but had errors. You'll need to implement the semantics of that condition yourself - Flex is relegated to either a result or fault.
If you've considered pushing elements into HTTP headers... remember that custom HTTP request headers are only supported for POST requests, not for GET requests. http://verveguy.blogspot.com/2008/07/truth-about-flex-httpservice.html Additionally, heavy restrictions have been placed on HTTP headers in Flash Player 9.0+ and may get worse. So... your mileage will depend on which headers you want to touch. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/authorization-header-request-flash-player.html If you have a concrete use-case, we might be able to hammer out an approach that works reliably. What exactly did you have in mind?
