Hello all,
Thought I'd repost again since I am curious as to the answer. I am thinking I
am missing something blindingly obvious since no one bothers to reply. Must be
a valid question because I have gotten three private "me too" replies.
I need to communicate with a web service where I need to set custom headers.
Seems to work as expected for both GET and POST under AIR. Using web browsers
the custom headers are only included for POST when using HTTPService and never
for URLLoader. Couldnt find in the docs if this is by design or a bug since
they lead me to believe this should be possible (except for the blacklisted
headers).
Thanks,
- Ivo

possible?
Debugging a bit further shows that the same behavior happens when using a
URLLoader. Then the custom headers are not sent.
Under Air tho the custom headers are always sent, GET or POST.
These headers are all truly custom so they are not in the URLRequestHeader
blacklist.
Is there a way to set custom headers on a GET? Short of opening a Socket
connection and writing out the HTTP requests?
Thanks,
- Ivo

Hey all,
Don't see it indicated in the docs but debugging revealed that custom headers
set on an HTTPService GET are not sent. Is this correct or am I missing
something?
var httpService: HTTPService = new HTTPService( );
httpService. method = 'GET';
httpService. headers = {customHeader: 'foobar'};
httpService. send({});
