I'm working on an application that's on a development server that is secured via Basic Auth over HTTPs. The application has an upload feature that will not work on the development server because Flash/Flex does not allow authentication for uploads...
Here's an excerpt from the SDK documentation of the flash.net.FileReference class (that is being used to upload files)... Note: If your server requires user authentication, only SWF files running in a browser that is, using the browser plug-in or ActiveX control can provide a dialog box to prompt the user for a username and password for authentication, and only for downloads. For uploads using the plug-in or ActiveX control, or for uploads and downloads using the stand-alone or external player, the file transfer fails. Any input or workarounds would be appreciated. Thanks. -Steven
