You can only open a socket if the server at the other hand has allows it on
port 843. As far as I know you can only do simple requests and have no
access to the response in terms of header and body.
If I can't do any of that, are there plans to allow AIR apps to be Java
with a Flex / Flash
UI and some sort of nice communication layer between them?
I am not sure if there are any plans like this. I think the top
most requested feature is the ability to run 3rd party applications
with AIR, but so far it is not possible. I am not aware of any java
application that has a Flash player embedded for it GUI, not sure if it
exists though.

Hey guys,
Apologies if this is an FAQ but I can't seem to find straight answers via
google.
I'm about to start work on an app, and I'd prefer to use AIR over Swing or
JavaFX - I'm just wondering exactly what capabilities you get on top of Flex
with AIR besides file read/write. Specifically, a few of the following
things:
- Can I get http response bodies when I get a 500 from a remote server?
- Can I make http requests other than GET and POST?
- If not, can I open a socket?
If I can't do any of that, are there plans to allow AIR apps to be Java
with a Flex / Flash UI and some sort of nice communication layer between
them? Is there a third party solution that does this?
