Question
Is there a way to access the response headers from an HTTP result when using Flash/Flex's URLLoader
?
Setting the request headers is possible, as is accessing the response code, but getting a hold of the actual response headers seems to be conspicuously lacking...
Specifically, I would like to get a hold of the Last-Modified
response header.
Solution
Oops. Answering my own question here, but AIR introduces the URLLoader.httpResponseStatus
event which includes a responseHeaders
property (plus a responseURL
property for brownie points).
Thankfully my question was for an AIR application, so that solves my problem. It's still a bit shocking that non-AIR flash/flex applications cannot seem to access the response headers.
