Oh yeah, i found it.
in the file:
mx.messaging.channels::DirectHTTPChannel.as at line 174:
override protected function internalSend(msgResp:MessageResponder):void
{
var httpMsgResp:DirectHTTPMessageResponder =
DirectHTTPMessageResponder(msgResp);
var urlRequest:URLRequest;
try
{
urlRequest = createURLRequest(httpMsgResp.message);
// for some really strange reason, in THIS scope, the urlRequest
object does not compile
// if you try to access the manageCookies property. Even in the FB
IDE, it does not show
// that property available. HOWEVER; if you debug, the object DOES
contain that property.
// so I am casting down to an object which is dynamic, accessing
the property, setting it to
// false, which causes the flash player to NOT override the cookies
and VIOLA!!!
// Cookie enabled HTTPService calls.
(urlRequest as Object).manageCookies = false;
// end modification
}
catch(e: MessageSerializationError)
{
httpMsgResp.agent.fault(e.fault, httpMsgResp.message);
return;
}
var urlLoader:URLLoader = httpMsgResp.urlLoader;
urlLoader.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, httpMsgResp.errorHandler);
urlLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
httpMsgResp.errorHandler);
urlLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,
httpMsgResp.securityErrorHandler);
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, httpMsgResp.completeHandler);
urlLoader.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS,
httpMsgResp.httpStatusHandler);
urlLoader.load(urlRequest);
}
I have tested it, using the following method:
import mx.rpc.http.HTTPService;
public class DebuggablePHPService extends EventDispatcher {
public function DebuggablePHPService(target:IEventDispatcher=null) {
super(target);
}
protected function
configureZendServiceDebugCookies(service:HTTPService):void {
service.headers = {
Cookie:
'start_debug=1'
+ ';' +
'debug_fastfile=1'
+ ';' +
'ZendDebuggerCookie=192.168.2.3:10137:0||084|77742D65|88432508' + ';' +
// 'debug_stop=1'
+ ';' +
'debug_coverage=1'
+ ';' +
'use_remote=1'
+ ';' +
'send_sess_end=1'
+ ';' +
'debug_session_id=27333395'
+ ';' +
'debug_start_session=1'
+ ';' +
'debug_port=10137'
+ ';' +
'send_debug_header=1'
+ ';' +
'debug_jit=1'
+ ';' +
'original_url='+ service.url
+ ';' +
'debug_host=192.168.2.3,127.0.0.1'
};
}
I am using zend server community edition, and this works perfectly, causing my
Zend IDE to launch in debug mode and stop at breakpoints in my php services.
Now I can work on extracting the session from the response to the httpService
when i login and then i can come up with a way to create a static "session"
that some extended HTTPSessionService can use to maintain a header based
session with a server after an initial login.
Of course now I am compiling against an Adobe flex 4.6 sdk with the rpc.swc
file removed in the compile config, and linking against a custom project made
up of the rpc/src folder with the version.as files removed since a generic flex
lib project complained about the file and didn't want to compile the lib... (I
really just hacked it apart to get to the solution finding asap - i'm sure
there were cleaner ways to modify the sdk). I'd really like to try against the
Apache Flex SDK, but frankly i'm in a 1 month rush development and don't have
much time for experimenting (other than this session service layer which is
critical).
Cheers Everyone!
