What is the URL that Flex 4 uses to download RSLs at runtime?
I want to check if I have access to this URL and that it is not blocked by the proxy that I am behind and would like to be able to put the URL into a browser to do this.
Obviously there are many URLs (one for each swz file), but does anyone know what the basic URL pattern is, or can anyone give me a sample URL?
Thanks
As far as I know if Flash Player can't find signed SWZs on the provided url it tries to download them from http://fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/
Ok, I found it: fpdownload.adobe.com/pub/swz/flex/4.5.0.20967/… (for example)

I have deployed an ASP.NET website on IIS 7. I was able to access my site using the URL http://**local host**/sitename.aspx and all the formatting of my pages is looking good.
But when I access the same page by using the URL http://**servername**/sitename.aspx from another system or on the same server where I have been deployed, the page formatting is not working properly.
What would be the best solution for this? Thanks
First a fall to check your Js/Css file path where you have not mention static file path with localhost name.
For more detail go to browser and browse your url and press F+12 so development tool will be open and check there for broken url.
I am not sure why you are worrying about formatting soo much. I mean formatting should not affect you much unless you use <pre> in your html.
There are ways to modify the HTTP Response Using Filters. Can you please makesure none of these filters present in your application for release mode.
Generally i use HTTP compression feature of IIS to compress my content, but in browser it looks correct to me.
I have a page as part of my IIS 7 (ASP.NET) website which serves images from a database. It uses a querystring to select the image and sets the content type header appropriately (image/jpeg) so that, for example, image.aspx?ID=1234 will be displayed in the browser as a jpeg image.
What I want to do instead is offer a URI formed in a manner such as image/1234.jpg which will produce the same result. In other words, there is no actual file on the server named 1234.jpg, it's just the contents of a database record, but from the browser's perspective, it will appear as if there is such a file.
I'm sure this is possible, but I can't figure out how it's accomplished, or where to look for answers. I'm thinking it may be done with an ISAPI filter, but I haven't found an accessible path into the docs to know if that's even the correct basis for a solution.
Possibly the best option here would be to implement a URL rewrite rule that changes image/1234.jpg to image.aspx?ID=1234
You can find more on URL rewrite for IIS here.
If, for whatever reason, URL rewrite isn't an option to you, then another possible method might be to implement a custom 404 page. When your request to image/1234.jpg doesn't result in a real file, it'll end up there.
You should be able to detect the URI at that point and serve up the image.
Many websites do not allow directory browsing. They want you to navigate from and in the webpages of that site. So for example if the page contains an image, you can only view the image by loading the whole page. When you paste the image location into the browser, you get the 403. Same situation when you try to access that image using URLConnection.
My question is, is there anyway to work around this? I.E. trick the server into thinking that our java access request comes from the page (knowing the url of the page that contains the item we want to access)?
Thanks,
Peter.
You can spoof the referer. It is used by servers showing this behaviour to know if you've come from eg a search engine.
http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=257742 shows one implementation of it in Java.
I'm trying to download SWF files from a site the traditional way, but a few of the SWF files have been created dynamically through what I believe to be ASP.net 2.0.
Every attempt to D/Load results in the correct dimensions, height and width, but it just gives me empty white space.
Anyone have experience with this?
What do the SWF files do? Perhaps you have managed to download the SWF fine, but it has an internal check for some requirement? Are there 'flashvars' being passed into it or pulled from a QueryString perhaps?
If you view the site that has the SWF files working with something like Fiddler or HttpFox it might provide some insights?
I'm building a website that stores a number of articles. The URL for each articles implements URL routing in the form /Articles/{categoryid}/{articleslug}.
Some articles have links to a graphics file. The link does not specify the full path so I'm storing the graphics file at /Articles/{categoryid}/{articleslug}/graphic.jpg.
This works fine on my desktop. But when I deployed the site to a shared hosting account, the behavior is different.
Now, the link only works if I store the graphics file at /Articles/{categoryid}/graphic.jpg. In other words, on my desktop, the {articleslug} is assumed to be a directory, but on the web it is assumed to be the name of the current page.
Does anyone know why the behavior changes? You can seen an example at http://www.blackbeltcoder.com/Articles/asp/creating-website-thumbnails-in-asp-net. Both the screenshot and download link near the top are broken links.
Without knowing more, it seems like the most likely cause would be a different version or configuration of IIS. The behavior of the web host makes all kinds of sense; the behavior of your desktop is confusing to me. Is your desktop doing a redirect from /Articles/{categoryid}/{articleslug} to /Articles/{categoryid}/{articleslug}/? Can you use Fiddler etc to see if the browser formats the GET request differently?
Thanks for the input. There probably wasn't enough information here for anyone to resolve this unless they've specifically seen the issue already.
At any rate, I was able to resolve it myself and I describe the resolution in a related question I posted at Relative Links with Extension-less URLs.
Thanks.
