I have an AIR app that I need to define a proxy for because the services sit behind a firewall.

We are not using BlazeDS so I can’t define the proxy settings in the proxy-config.xml file. So, how do I do it?

Any tips are appreciated.

Thanks!

UPDATE:

I’m having a hard time with this issue.

I’m guessing that I’m not the first person who has had to work behind a firewall when accessing data so I’m not sure why I can’t find any documentation on the web anywhere about this.

AIR says it is supposed to automatically know and use the proxy configuration from your system, i.e. default browser. In there, I don’t set a manual proxy, I use the ‘automatic configuration’ and point it to a .dat file. Could this be where the problem is? Does AIR not know how to understand this?

There’s no way to set a proxy on an HTTPService component unless you are using Blaze DS or LCDS? Is this true? I’d hate to have to add that to my application just so I can get this accomplished.

    SOLVED: The problem was I was given the wrong URL to access. Once I started using the correct URL then everything worked. The crux of it is that AIR should always pick up proxy settings from default system browser.

    Thank you Flextras for your patience.
