Question

I have a JAX-RS (Rest) web service, that only enables access through SSL.

If I try to acces it though IE feeding the according parameters, I get the correct response.

Now using Flex’s HTTPService component like this:

<s:HTTPService id="httpsService" 
               url="https://myIp:myHTTPSPort/JAXRS/jaxrs/GetText" 
               resultFormat="text"
               result="httpsService_resultHandler(event)"
               fault="httpsService_faultHandler(event)">
   <s:request>              
      <text>My Text</text>              
   </s:request>
</s:HTTPService>

The fault event is started with the “HTTP request error” faultstring.

I already added this crossdomain file to the WEB-INF folder of the web service project:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
    <allow-access-from domain="flexApplicationIp" secure="true"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

…but as you might have guessed didn’t work.

I have a self generated HTTPS certificate on the host of my web service, so I dont’k know if I need to add it on Flex somewhere.

Any ideas?
