GET fails, POST succeeds

I have a .swf made from an AIR project that makes https request to a REST api (i.e. Parse.com)

There is no problem running this .swf with AIR.

If I were to run this .swf in regular Flash player 11, I encounter:

GET request I receive error 401 (unauthorized)

POST request there is no problem.

Is this expected?

not because of anything on the flash side. if you had a flash problem it would be a security sandbox error and would occur with post and get.

check that rest api to see if it allows get requests.

I should clarify that GET is allowed, because if I run the exact same .swf with the ADL instead of Flash player 11, both GET and POST requests succeed.

In addition to Parse.com, I also tried Stackmob.com's REST api. Similar results:

But works fine if launched in ADL.

I'm here because these REST api companies do not support as3 and can't help.

copy and paste a simplified get actionscript request that fails and a javascript request that suceeds.
