Re: [Flashcoders] Proxy for Express Install

i think setting up your own proxy for express install would be way  
more trouble than it's worth...


you'd have to have every plugin version and do platform sniffing and  
return the correct plugin for each platform.. then when adobe updates  
the Flash player, you'll have to update all your stuff... it wouldn't  
be very much fun.


it sounds to me like the DNS hasn't propagated across to some of your  
DNS servers yet.


so as a temporary fix, you could try replacing the  
fpdownload.macromedia.com in the express install code with the ip  
address of the server (make sure you get the ip address from a  
computer that the install works on)


i don't recommend this as a permanent fix, but it might work until  
adobe takes care of their DNS issues.


you should also try e-mailing someone over there - the flash  
developer relations person (i'm not sure who that is anymore) and see  
if they have any insight into the problem.

Thanks for the advice.  I was thinking about what you just wrote and 
I agree, it would be a headache. I have, however, tried to reach 
someone at Adobe via email.  With their feedback forms and Flash 
Player help forms, 5 times already with no response.  Do you know of 
a more direct way to get their attention?

[Flashcoders] Proxy for Express Install

2006-05-13 Thread Asai
Adobe still hasn't fixed the problem (it seems to be coming from them 
anyway) which is preventing me and others from other parts of the 
country (and world) from being able to download the Flash Player 
using the express install feature (or simply trying to download it 
direct from their site).  However, when I use our remote server to 
get it, not from my own personal broadband connection, there is no
