[Red5devs] 'Proxy-Authorization' header required in NetConnection (AS3)

[Corbu Cristian]

Hi Guys,

I have the following problem: while running our flash application in a
certain lan (part of a hospital), the firewall doesn't seem to allow the
flash application to connect to the Red5 rtmp URI.
After digging a bit, it seems that the reason is this, as received from the
server admin:

"The hospital uses Firefox and it seems that this browser does not add the '
*Proxy-Authorization*'-header.Perhaps someone knows how to integrate these
headers into the Flash RTMPT requests."

The project was coded in AS3 purely and compiled with Flash CS3. Using Flex
is out of the question, at this point.

I was looking for a way adding this header, but the only thing I found is
the NetConnection.addHeader()
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/NetConnection.html#addHeader()
but which is a context header. I'm not really good with networking but I
don't think I can add a '*Proxy-Authorization*' header with this.

Can you please help me out with a hint?

Thanks,
Cristian
