RE: [flexcoders] Accessing HTTP headers from Flex Data Services

[Cathy Reilly]

The JSP solution is a Flex 1.x solution.   If you're using Flex 1.x, here's an alternative to the jsp option below,   > Note: The above seems to require a compile for every request for the page.   With a minor modification to the code, you can eliminate the above issue - the flashvars are updated on every request but the page doesn't recompile. Use the flashvar tag to set a flashvar from the http header.  Access as flashvars in your mxml.   <flex.:mxml> <mx:flashvar name="this_is_the_name_to_access_from_mxml" value='<%= request.getHeader("XXX") %>'/> ... Insert your mxml here, be sure to declare 'this_is_the_name_to_access_from_mxml at the root level. </flex:mxml>   - Cathy From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 30, 2006 1:41 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Accessing HTTP headers from Flex Data Services I will give "an" answer which I know works, but there must be better ways. We wrapped our mxml with jsp using <flex:mxml.../> accessed request.getHeader("XXX"); in the jsp pushed those values into jsp string variables (XXX = ) and substituted them in the mxml via <%= XXX %> flashvars will automatically pass in parameters if variables are declared in the flex at the root level to match, I haven't tried header variables.

The request variables are easily accessible through Application.application.parameters, but how can you get at HTTP headers variables?
