We use HTTPService for all of our server data calls. There were a few modifications we used. We use E4X for the data format, having the server side send all responses in XML. When a response is sent back from the server we have a success message that is stored in a status node.
So the client side checks a few things... A. Is the response empty. B. Does it contain the status node. C. Does it have any faults. If it fails to get a status it can assume an error. The Fault events have a "FaultEvent.fault.faultString" that can show some information about what happened and the " FaultEvent.message.headers.DSStatusCode" can sometimes return the exact server code. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Dan Nailor [mailto:dnai...@emarketinginc.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2013 12:23 PM To: dev@flex.apache.org Subject: HTTPService Response Headers Hello, I am looking to find out if there is anything in the works to allow the HTTPService response headers to be interrogated beyond successful and unsuccessful calls? From what I understand this is not possible with the current class and may be a limitation of some browsers. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/mx/rpc/http/HTTPService.html http://blogs.adobe.com/kiwi/2006/07/making_http_calls_in_actionscr.html (Response Headers) Thanks!
