ColdFusion 8, FlashForms and SSL dilemma
Hi all, I have been directed to change a few of the sites that I maintain to HTTPS. So far everything is working great, but I have a few sites where the developer used flash forms extensively. These sites will bring up the flash form, but all of the functionality is disabled. For example a user must choose a state, then the rest of the form is dynamically created and populated. When https is used, changing the state does nothing. I have already googled, and made the suggested changes to remoting-config.xml and services-config.xml, but it still didn't work. Plus those suggestions were for using flex with cf, not flash forms. I really need to get this working, and no I cannot rewrite this to get rid of the flash forms as much as I want to. This application is nearing end of life and I don't have the time to re-write it, but our security organization is requiring SSL. I have already tried these sites for info: http://www.cftips.net/post.cfm/flex-remoteobject-remoting-over-ssl http://www.barneyb.com/barneyblog/2007/09/01/flex2-and-3-remoteobjects-over-ssl-with-coldfusion/ http://blog.crankybit.com/flex-remoting-over-ssl/ Thanks, Steve __ Steve Durette ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:349622 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: ColdFusion 8, FlashForms and SSL dilemma
Steven, Have you run Firebug to see what calls are being made from the flash form? It could be trying to hit something that is non-SSL. The NET tab should give you some indication. That is where I would start and then work my way up. -J.J.

RE: ColdFusion 8, FlashForms and SSL dilemma (solved)
I found the problem... It had to deal with IE8 only. IE 8 can't receive caching headers when dealing with cgi.content_type = application/x-amf. Everything I found on the web stated that it dealt with the pragma caching value only but removing that didn't work. I then decided to check if it was application/x-amf and I coded a cfif that wouldn't send any of the caching headers. That fixed it. Original code: cfset gmt = gettimezoneinfo() / cfset gmt = gmt.utchouroffset / cfif not gmt cfset gmt = / cfelseif gmt cfset gmt = + gmt /cfif /cfsilent cfheader name=Pragma value=no-cache / cfheader name=Cache-Control value=no-cache, must-revalidate / cfheader name=Expires value=Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT / cfheader name=Last-Modified value=#DateFormat(now(), 'ddd, dd mmm ')# #TimeFormat(now(), 'HH:mm:ss')# GMT#gmt# / New Code: cfset gmt = gettimezoneinfo() / cfset gmt = gmt.utchouroffset / cfif not gmt cfset gmt = / cfelseif gmt cfset gmt = + gmt /cfif /cfsilent cfif cgi.content_type neq application/x-amf cfheader name=Pragma value=no-cache / cfheader name=Cache-Control value=no-cache, must-revalidate / cfheader name=Expires value=Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT / /cfif cfheader name=Last-Modified value=#DateFormat(now(), 'ddd, dd mmm ')# #TimeFormat(now(), 'HH:mm:ss')# GMT#gmt# / Thanks for the suggestion though I wouldn't have thought of checking the net tab in firebug.
