RE: [flexcoders] SWF and Flex SSL confusing situations

[Matt Chotin]

Situation 1: remoting calls really are sent over https if the endpoint you chose is https Situation 2: The SWF is loaded over http, not https assuming you explicitly used an http url.  So no overhead. Situation 3: If the Flex SWF was loaded over https all of your remote calls should also go over https by default.   You should be able to keep the SWF as http and the remoting calls as https without a problem.  The only disadvantage is that your users will not see the secure icon in their browser.  Since the content on the page will not all be https.   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of kaibabsowats Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 3:28 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] SWF and Flex SSL confusing situations   I would like to understand some of the http and https situations and how it affects SSL connections. First Situation:     Flex application loaded with http.  The Flex access remoting calls with a https endpoint.     Are the remoting calls really send over https? Second Situation:     Flex application loaded with https.  Flex application uses a mx.controls.Loader to load an item from a http location.     Is https used when loading the http item with Loader? another way of asking, is there https overhead in this situation? Third Situation:     Regular Flash Player 7 SWF application loads a Flex application using a Loader class.  The contentPath of the Flex application is a https url.      Does the SWF application override any https settings int he Flex application, for example remote calls set to call https protocal? Are there any options for creating a website all in flash along with the a shopping cart, but to have the shopping cart form and remoting calls use https, but also keep url to get to the website http? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
