Secure remoting using Fluorine in Pure As3

Hey,

I’m trying to set up a log in system in a flash site with Fluorine/.Net. that will work over https.

The (sparse) Fluorine documentation suggests using a setCredentials method in AS2, but the AS3 NetConnection class doesn’t have that method and I can’t find any suggestions on how to do this in pure AS3.

There is a class written by Thibault Imbert (bytearray.org ) that uses the addHeader method of Netconnection to pass credentials through :

connection.addHeader( "Credentials", true, { userid : remoteUserName, password : remotePassword } );	

However, I’ve not been able to get this to work with Fluorine so far.

The only option that seems left is to call an authenticate method and pass username and password through to Fluorine which will then create a session, only, I’m not confident in the security of doing that.

Any ideas/suggestions would be really appreciated.
Best,
Nick
