Hi All,

 

The manual says:

 

Note: "You must use the Flex proxy, which is part of Flex Data Services,
to ensure that HTTP

status codes are returned correctly from HTTP services and web services.
On web

browsers, when a service returns any status code other than 200, Adobe
Flash Player

cannot read the body of the response. If the status code is 500 and the
body contains a

fault, there is no way to get to the fault. The proxy works around this
issue by forcing the

status code for faults to 200; the player passes the body of the
response along with the

fault intact."

 

At US $6000 a pop per CPU (departmental license only - $20,000 per CPU
for enterprise license) across multiple high-availability data centers
you'd be looking down the barrel at more than US $50,000 ** to run a web
service proxy ** on a number of good machines.

 

So, does this effectively render Flex RPC services un-useable unless you
use Flex Data Services? .. unless you make the assumption that
everything always works ...

 

.. what happens when a non-200 status code is encountered?

 

... or have I got it wrong ... ??

 

Greg.
