I am using ASP.NET and Flash FileReference.upload to upload photos. I want to have .NET form authentication and have Flash's HTTP POST send back the authenticated user information so I can associate this uploaded photo with it.
I don’t know how long it took me to finally figured out that FileReference.upload is actually passing back the IE cookie in the header, when I am using FireFox! This is absolutely the strangest thing. B-(
To my surprise, when I am logged in as User ONE on Firefox and upload a file, I received User TWO from IE’s login. I changed to login as User THREE in IE, the upload in FireFox passed back User THREE. I tried deleting all cookies from IE and FireFox, but didn't make any difference.
I am able to upload photos through flash to the server, so the upload and http post is working. I am posting back to the same aspx page. I also set up 2 separate servers and both results are the same. And also use 2 different computers to test the client side, no luck there.
Can someone explain to me why this is, and what I am doing wrong? How do I make it post back work like a normal ASP.NET post back, because I might need the session cookie too.
Is that possible at all? Or do I have to pass the cookie value in FileReference.upload("uploadphoto.aspx?cookie=" + cookievalue)? Ideally I wouldn't have to reveal cookie information in the page itself.![[ponder]](/data/assets/smilies/ponder.gif "[ponder] [ponder]")
Thanks!
