Proxy SendAndLoad

[mike314]

When doing an xml sendAndLoad of sending xml data is it possible to use a php proxy file (which exists on your site) that basically readsfile to an external url if the url doesnt exist on your site?

From Adobe site: "This method is best if the server hosting the data is not under your control (for example, a public XML feed)."

I'm having trouble with either the proxy or just the way my script is set up because its never sending the xml. All I'm doing is creating xml and sending it, but it always fails. Is there something obvious missing?????


function submitFiles() {
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var topLevel:XMLNode = myXML.createElement("Request");
var sentFrom:XMLNode = myXML.createElement("Sent From");
var fileIDElement:XMLNode = myXML.createElement("fileId");
var entryField:XMLNode = myXML.createElement("entry");
var descript:XMLNode = myXML.createElement("description");
var isOnline:XMLNode = myXML.createElement("Connected");

var textNode1:XMLNode = myXML.createTextNode("error@yoursite.com");
var textNode2:XMLNode = myXML.createTextNode("34942563");
var textNode3:XMLNode = myXML.createTextNode(_root.text_field.text);
var textNode4:XMLNode = myXML.createTextNode("Bad file check");
var textNode5:XMLNode = myXML.createTextNode("true");


myXML.appendChild(topLevel);
topLevel.appendChild(sentFrom);
topLevel.appendChild(fileIDElement);
topLevel.appendChild(entryField);
topLevel.appendChild(descript);
topLevel.appendChild(isOnline);

sentFrom.appendChild(textNode1);
fileIDElement.appendChild(textNode2);
entryField.appendChild(textNode3);
descript.appendChild(textNode4);
isOnline.appendChild(textNode5);

var SendLoginReply_xml:XML = new XML();
SendLoginReply_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

SendLoginReply_xml.onLoad = loadedXML;


SendLoginReply_xml.onData = function(src:String){
if(src != undefined){
this.parseXML(src);
var tempString = SendLoginReply_xml.firstChild.firstChild.toString();
var testString = tempString.substring(8,9);
if (testString == 0){
this.loaded = true;
this.onLoad(true);
}else{
trace("Didnt pass")
}
}
}

myXML.contentType = "text/xml";
myXML.sendAndLoad("sendProxyFile.php", SendLoginReply_xml);

}
function loadedXML(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
trace("Transfer Succeeded");
} else {
trace("connection failed")
}
}


thanks

If you send your XML as string to your PHP (via LoadVars.sendAndLoad) does it work?

[mike314]

the php is just a proxy file that uses readfile($myURL);
where myURL is an external site that is collecting my xml.

problem is I always get to the "Didnt pass" from the onData function and the data is never recieved.

So instead of creating xml using the xml object I should just pass it as "<Request></Request>" ???

That's what I am saying - try sending XML string (not XML object) using LoadVars.sendAndLoad (not XML.sendAndLoad) to see if it works.

still doesnt pass

in place of all the xml I placed this

submittedData = new LoadVars();
submittedData.inputData = "all actual xml blah blah"

then did this

submittedData.sendAndLoad("sendProxyFile.php", SendLoginReply_xml);

If I get rid of the onData function, I get a "Transfer Succeeded" but the data is never received.

 

[kennethkawamoto]

submittedData.sendAndLoad("sendProxyFile.php", SendLoginReply_xml);

Shouldn't the receiving object be LoadVars, not XML...?
