Hi there,

First thanks for your work on this, can’t believe this is not in AIR yet :/

Then, I’m having trouble decompressing data from StackOverflow API. For example this URL:

http://stackauth.com/1.0/sites

I keep getting this error:

“The specified data is not in GZIP file format structure.”

But I’ve tested the same URL with other GZIP decoders and seems ok.

Any ideas?

thanks!

Juan

Hi Harish,

Placing the swf files in my Flex project’s libs folder worked for me. I imagine they’d work fine placed elsewhere as long as your project had the location added to the library paths.

Good luck.

Thank you! I’m needing to download and save a zip file using BlazeDS. Getting the data as a byteArray then saving locally was no problem. Except the archive was corrupt. I had finally decided to give up and just use a servlet for the file transfer when I ran across your post. It works! I must admit I don’t really understand why it works, but it does. Thanks again.

I’m new to flex, sorry if there some lame questions. Sorry for bad english too…

This is what I was looking for!

Our application sends at start an amount of XML data, to avoid un-Necessary Validation calls to the main Server;

How can i, continuing using HttpService , get the compressed data from the Main (Java)Aplication in the Flex Client(wich is Embued in JSP);

- HttpService doesn’t support bytearray - should i transfer the response in Base64encoding?, should i redefine HttpService to accept the ans?;

- I need to pass at least 2 arguments : 2 strings.

If i can do this, without coldfusion, UrlLoader, Webservices, better.

Im thinking in compress the Swf(s) too… next step;

Please give me some answers or point me in a direction.
TY
