I'd like to POST some XML requests via HTTPService from my Flex app (which is served from e.g. http://xyz.com) to a .cgi server running on my localhost.
The cgi server is part of an interface to an existing Java application. It takes XML requests via HTTP POST and returns XML response via HTTP.
I don't have all the details nailed down on but I can think of these potential issues:
1. Some of the POST actions will involve sending megabytes or even gigabytes of ascii encoded data. Does the HTTPService request normally timeout after a while? if so, how to set the timeout period?
2. Is it allowed by under the default Flash security policy to send/receive data via HTTPService from a Flex app that is served from e.g. http://xyz.com to a server running http://localhost/ ? If not, how do you deal with it? Do you have to save a crossdomain.xml on the localhost web root (or the xyz.com web root) or what security work around would be needed (if any)?
I looked at the documentation here (http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex20beta2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm) and couldn't find much info about this ...
Thanks for your help :)
