Ok.. that's all good but how do you get to this file on the server side in .NET?

dr. feelgood said on Dec 6, 2005 at 6:27 AM :

Flash Player 8 on OSX 10.4 (tested with Safari) will throw an error (HTTP error 404) when posting to a server-side script running on a subdomain, such as http://myapp.mydomain.com/.

This behaviour occurred on Mediatemple, I cant speak for other environments. It also works on XP.

http://myapp.mydomain.com/doUpload.php --> doesnt work
http://www.mydomain.com/myapp.mydomain.com/doUpload.php --> works

Took us a while to hunt this one down :-)

on one of my clients severs i'm getting an "onHTTPError" 404 after the "onProgress" reaches 100%.
how is this possible?

Shinkaze said on Apr 13, 2006 at 4:36 PM :

This is great and all, but how do I find out *WHICH* FTTP error the file recieved? (404, etc?). For testing purposes we're getting a ton of errors, but it's not telling us why and we don't know how to find out why......anyone know?

R3DD4G said on May 17, 2006 at 3:49 PM :

Any http errors such as 403, 406 or where a file upload goes to a 100% but doesn't show up on the server is a result of the mod_security. Mod_sercurity blocks the post request of flash because it is missing a ":". To correct this problem create or find the .htaccess file in your root directory then type in:

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

that should correct your problem.

also, you may try this in your php.ini file if you are having problems with uploading large files:

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 50M

; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
post_max_size = 50M

In response to dr. feelgood's comments, this does not work on a Mac with
any of the browsers I have tested in (Safari, Firefox, Opera, Internet
Explorer, etc.), while it does work in all browsers on a PC (Internet Explorer,
Firefox, Opera, etc.), which leads me to believe that this is a problem with
the Flash plugin on a Mac.

Has anyone found an actual solution to getting this to work with
subdomains, or do we (as I suspect) have to wait for a fix from Adobe?

hi i tried adding both lines to my .htaccess file. But all it did was crash my website. Any other suggestions? Tnx in advance guys :)

stevensanborn said on Feb 9, 2007 at 6:20 PM :

yes i too had the near 100% then http error. This was fixed by

SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off

thanks

Hi, I am having troubles with a 405 error sent back to the Player. I can't find
any info about this porblem, but maybe the System.security.loadPolicyFile()
could help? How would I do that?
Thanks greatfully to the one who will help me...

eddy_ said on Mar 6, 2007 at 10:26 AM :

After doing the Mod_sercurity trick width the .htaccess file in the rootdir I got a HTTP Error 500 instead of the HTTP Error 403... So what now? (my fileupload works fine on my testserver - so I know it coded well - but refuses to work on the liveserver)

stephen2earth said on May 9, 2007 at 1:50 AM :

i have a similar problem where it will not work for some reason, it was working on a different server, but when it was transferred i am getting a http error 406, any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

wraevn said on May 14, 2007 at 9:26 AM :

I just found this little gem on Ultrashock (thanks Nutrox!)

How do you find out WHAT HTTP error?

listener.onHTTPError = function(file:FileReference, httpError:Number):Void
{
trace("ERR: " + httpError);
}

stephen2earth said on May 15, 2007 at 3:59 AM :

For those still experiencing errors with the FileBrowser Class.
I was having a 406 error on the server,but it was working on a test server.
I managed to discover the reason was in the security of the page,
here is a link to a blog about the problem http://protoflash.com/blog/2007/05/15/filebrowserclass/

flairman said on Jun 20, 2007 at 9:46 PM :

i also have 500 error
the upload file(asp) is correct
what is the problem?
