Hello, when a flash application requests content from the http server, are the http headers sent the same the browser sends? I imagine that FP delegates the responsibility of loading any type of content via HTTP to the browser, so the headers should be the same.
I have tried Service Capture (http sniffer) to see the difference and got the following: Loaded directly from firefox: GET /history.htm HTTP/1.1 Host: onfashion.webfuel.pt User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: pt,en-gb;q=0.7,en;q=0.3 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Referer: http://onfashion.webfuel.pt/ Cookie: PHPSESSID=fbca4b8f6a5d4e0895499d4abc3bea3f Loaded from Firefox but requested the Flash application: GET /images/pub_inscricoes_olho.jpg HTTP/1.1 Host: onfashion.webfuel.pt User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language: pt,en-gb;q=0.7,en;q=0.3 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive: 300 Cookie: PHPSESSID=fbca4b8f6a5d4e0895499d4abc3bea3f The only difference i see, is that the request made by the Flash application doesn't have the Referrer header. But using Internet Explorer, the headers are completely identical. I need a more accurate opinion, since we are having some issues concerning statistics calculated by a business partner. They say they believe that when content is loaded from the FP they are generating false statistics. Can this be true? Thanks, João Saleiro
