Topic: Communications questions.
Hi,
I have a few questions that did not turn up answers in simple searches.
1. I have noticed that things I can do in the PC based stand alone flash player, like log into a webserver that requires cookies to communicate, seems to work. However, when I attempt the same stunt using a my swf file (running as the Chumby control panel), the same webserver treats it as unauthenticated. This is a web server that really has no authentication activated, no login required running on the local LAN. The flash running in this fashion on the chumby is actually the first time in the life of our product (5 years) that anyone in my team has seen this particular webserver (running on an embedded linux server on the LAN) give an unauthenticated message.
Does the chumbyflashplayer do less than the stand alone projector on a PC regarding cookies? (or is this a flashlite thing?)
2. I have also noticed that when I try my normally reliable alternative approach of connecting by using a socket at port 3050, the connection is never recognized by the socket server. It does work in just about every other configuration, except running on the Chumby.
Does the chumbyflashplayer allow direct socket connections to ports (such as 3050?)
Thanks!
