Flash - Actionscript / Flex

AS3 ByteArray Uploader

Digidood — Thu, 08 May 2008 15:39:26 GMT

I'm creating an app that creates large amounts of binary data in memory and then uploads it to nirvanix as a file.
I thought I would share this utility in case others might need to do the same.

The link below includes a class to upload a bytearray of any size to nirvanix and works in Flash, Flex, and AIR on or offline.
It uploads the data in chunks across multiple requests using the content-range feature.
It requires that you get the storage node and upload token on your own first, but provides a
quick wrapper class to hold the host, uploadToken, destFolderPath, and fileName

Example Usage:

var data:ByteArray = createYourMassiveByteArray();

var storageNode:NirvanixStorageNode = new NirvanixStorageNode();
storageNode.host = "...";
storageNode.uploadToken = "...";
storageNode.destFolderPath = "...";
storageNode.fileName = "...";

var uploader:NirvanixBinaryUploader = new NirvanixBinaryUploader(storageNode, data);
uploader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
uploader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
uploader.upload();

Flash Upload and 303 forward

dotmlj — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 13:50:40 GMT

Hi.

We use the Flash uploader MultiPowUpload (http://www.element-it.com/MultiPowUpload.aspx) and Nirvanix HTTP upload. To register new uploads we use the forwardingurl to forward to a script on our site.

Nirvanix makes a 303 redirect to the forwarding URL with only a header and no content. The problem is that Flash on Mac needs at least one char in the response content to accept it as a response and make the redirect - meaning upload on Mac is not working on our site.

Can we in any way get just a single char in return when using the forwardingURL to fix this problem?

Thanks a lot!

Crossdomain Problem

TedTiger — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:02:08 GMT

I have a question regarding flash and the crossdomain.xml
We would like to load directly the URLs which we generated with the "GetOptimalUrls"-request in Flash CS3.
But we cannot do so, because of the crossdomain.xml file which must reside in http://node2.nirvanix.com (Europe Node).

Currently we've solved this with a wrapper script in PHP which pulls the image and pushes it back to the flash client. But that cannot be a long term solution.

80003 Access Denied on flash upload

Annon — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 17:05:04 GMT

I'm trying to upload using a flash file, but I keep getting "80003 Access Denied: the domain name 'node4.nirvanix.com:80' cannot be used to access this account."

If I upload a file from a standard form it works fine, but using file.upload in flash never works. The URL flash is uploading to is in this format: http://node4.nirvanix.com/Upload.ashx?uploadToken=--&destFolderPath=--

The host and upload token are grabbed from GetStorageNodeExtended, and destFolderPath does exist.

Crossdomain files need updating for Flash 9.0.124.0

acorcutt — Tue, 20 May 2008 14:21:42 GMT

Hi,

I'm running into problems creating SOAP requests from the latest flash player, I think you need to update your crossdomain files on all nodes.

I'm getting http channel.security.errors when we try to do soap requests, (the old 9.115.0 player was fine), I think you now need to add:

More Details:

Let me know if there is something else I can do if you cant do this.

"Secure" stream of MP3 files

dotmlj — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 09:01:31 GMT

Hi.

I know it's hard to make true secure streaming of MP3 files to a Flash player, but does Nirvanix offer any ways of secure streaming of media files other than getting them via a simple HTTP download?

Using a Flash Uploading mechanism

Have you enabled the acceptance of uploads from a swf file? ie: crossdomain.xml?

Thank you

FLV streaming

ramy — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 20:48:56 GMT

Hello,

Is it possible to have a flash video player directly access to flv movies stored Nirvanix without having a streaming server (like red5) in between ?

Thanks

REST Security

itsthetaste — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 00:27:06 GMT

Hi,

I was just looking into using your services as file store for media files which I intend to load from a Flash/Flex application but am a little concerned about using the REST model from a client application as a user who knew what they were doing could view my applicationid, username and password using freely available http analysis tools such as fiddler.

So, should I call my .Net server from the Flash file, get my server to authenticate with your server and return the session id to the flash file which then uses it to retrieve the file from yourselves, or is there another way?

Thanks

Richard
