Http Request Error with Safari

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch Sample application from
http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=208528
2. Use standard Safari or Air to launch

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

There should be text being reversed and scrambled

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Error message saying that the http connection does not work. This is on
Safari 3 using OS X 10.6

Please provide any additional information below.

Note: This works on Firefox!

No amount of crossdomain.xml or tweaks could get this to work.

at RyanAMills:
I ran today into same problem. I guess you use python2.6. With this version you 
have to define the 
RequestHandler path explicitly.

If you follow this example: 
http://docs.python.org/library/simplexmlrpcserver.html#simplexmlrpcserver-
example , replace: rpc_paths = ('/RPC2',) with  rpc_paths = 
('/','/RPC2','/xmlrpc')

Hi Ryan,

I have the same problem, running it as Air application under OS X 10.6. I even 
tried different XML-RPC Server 
(e.g. C++), but it doesn't work either. Any news on your side ?

Hi Ryan,

I think I found the problem. Let's have a look at the XML that is generated 
e.g. out of AIR:

POST /RPC2null HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8888
Content-Type: text/xml

Here you see that /RPC2 is directly followed by null. The null is there because 
there is no destination 
specified in the XMLRPCObject. If I add an empty destination to my XMLRPCObject 
it works flawlessly.

<ak33m:XMLRPCObject id="server" endpoint="http://localhost:8000/RPC2" 
destination="">

The resulting XML now looks like:

POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8888
Content-Type: text/xml

See the attached screenshot, I hope that does it for you.

Best,
Christian

Christian, thanks I had discovered that as well on a mock project I tried, but I
didn't see the connection and never retested this example. Anyways, yes, this 
appears
to work.... not documented anywhere, but putting a blank in the destination 
solves it. 

Roettig... I tried some of the path changes before, and it didn't seem to work. 
I
suppose this can be closed and the resolution being put a blank destination 
entry.
