Server-Side ActionScript - HTTP GET/POST

  • December 19, 2012

I see that Adobe provides a WebService class to use with Server-Side ActionScript for consuming SOAP services.  I'd like to perform more basic HTTP calls.  It looks like this is potentially possible using XML.send(), but this is limited to POST and sending XML only.

Is there a generic way to make HTTP calls?  I tried using XmlHttpRequest but it appears this isn't included with FMS.

    Hi,

    You can use LoadVars class to make HTTP requests on the server side. For more details about LoadVars class, you can check the following link:

    @Chandan_Abhishek Can you send form data over HTTP? Can you upload an object to S3 with LoadVars? I tried, and it doesn't look like you can.

    Thanks for your help.  Is it possible to make requests over https with LoadVars?  I tried the following:

    my_lv.load("https://192.168.104.1:8443/etc...");

    This fails silently.  Wireshark shows zero packets with destination port 8443.

    Try editing server.xml configuration file and change <SSLVerifyCertificate> to false. For more details about these tags, you can go through following link:
