There is also a problem when accessing private entries from Flash Player authorized via AuthSub. Somehow you need to send the Authorization header from Flash Player (containing the AuthSub session token), and only possible way is to do it via POST request because Flash Player cannot send headers with GET request.
And a POST request to PWA Data API meens creating something new, in this case (i think :) ) a new Album entry. It looks like, there is (yet) no way to read private PWA entries authorized via AuthSub because: 1. we need crossdomain.xml with <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="Authorization"/> 2. we need to be able send POST requests to read the private entries Thanks for any informations/hints on this.
