Question
Network communication server-side (http, SSL)
Hey all,
I'm wondering if it's possible at all to make http or even arbitrary network requests from the server-side on FMS. Based on the documentation (which states that server-side ActionScript is just JavaScript 1.5 with a few extra classes), there's no way to do this, but I find that to be unbelievable. A $4,500 application that doesn't give me the power to make an HTTP request to my web server? There must be a way.
Also, I'd like to make HTTPS requests if possible. If that means using an SSL socket and writing my own HTTP requests, or using some HTTPS-capable socket or request object, that's fine.
Anybody know of a way to do this?
Also, does the same-origin (same-domain) security policy still apply on the server side?
