I duplicated your situation with basic authentication and had the same
trouble of not being able to include the Authentication header using
urlstream.
Using Socket will allow you to authenticate and access the protected file,
but is a bit trickier.
private var socket:Socket;
private function connectSocket():void
{
if (!socket)
socket = new Socket;
socket.addEventListener(Event.CONNECT,
socket_connectHandler);//socket successfully connected
socket.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
socket_IOErrorHandler);//socket failed to connect
socket.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA,
socket_dataHandler);//received data from socket
socket.addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, onSocketClose);//socket closed by
server
}
socket.connect("website.com", 80);
}
private function socket_connectHandler(event:Event):void
{
var b64:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder;
b64.encode("user1:user1Password");
var httpRequest:String = "GET /protected/testfile.txt
HTTP/1.1\r\n";//might try 1.0 depending on situation
httpRequest += "Authorization: Basic " + b64.toString() + "\r\n\r\n";
socket.writeUTFBytes(httpRequest);
sock.flush();
}
private function socket_dataHandler(event:ProgressEvent):void
{
//the tricky part, figuring out what to do with the raw data
trace(socket.readUTFBytes(event.bytesLoaded));
}
