AIR, Https and invalid certificates

[reflexactions]

If you have a flex application and access it using https and the site certificate is invalid for some reason the browser gives a warning about the site and an option to continue to the site, if you choose to continue the application loads and runs as normal.

However if you make the same application as an AIR app then you get a warning message for every call made to the site. You can click continue but as soon as it makes another connection it will again present you with the warning message.

Simply to load, our application displayed over 200 warning messages, compared to 1 warning if running the same application it the browser

Obviously in this situation the AIR application is not practicable.

Is there any workaround for this, we currently don't have an option to change the certificate.

No there is no workaround (that I'm aware of) other than fixing the server.

Hi,

I tried to install this hotfix but it requires IE 6, On my PC there's IE 8 . Have you got any news about a possible solution or is bug still open?

Thanks

I have a valid certificate but I got an error when I tried to make a connection using httpservice because I used "www" in the url.

I removed "www" and It works. https://domainname.com

Finally, I dont recommend to use out of date or invalid certificates for corporate Air Apps.

regards.

Ok now it works for me...but just another question ..

This warning message appears when I launch air application.

If i close application and then I launch it again, warning message appears again.

Is it possible that this warning message appears only the first time that I launch application ? I would like that this message disappears for next launching ...

Maybe is solution  based on cookie management or something similar?

I hope it/everything is clear.
