Getting ioerrorevent type ioerror during webservice call from mobile app

Question

Hi,
I building a mobile employee directory and for that I am using Flash Builder 4.6/AIR 3.1.0. I am using RESTful web service to get XML results and to display on my mobile application. I am getting the same below error when accessing the webservice from mobile app (Android - Galaxy Tab 7 inch).
Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error # 2032"] URL: http://adfdevp.alshaya.com:7013/RESTEmployeeDetails-EmployeeDetails-co">http://adfdevp.alshaya.com:7013/RESTEmployeeDetails-EmployeeDetails-co ntext-root/jersey/restlabhttp://adfdevp.alshaya.com:7013/RESTEmployeeDetails-http://adfdevp.alshaya.com:7013/RESTEm ployeeDetails-EmployeeDetails-co ntext-root/jersey/restlabEmployeeDetails-context-root/jersey/restlab
The same code is working in Flash Builder 4.6. I have checked Network Monitor to "Disabled" before deploying to mobile. What am i doing wrong here? I am pasting my code below-

Answer 1

I am in the same boat, trying to get data from a site with simple Apache Basic Authentication.  I couldnt get the FB/AIR App for iPad to popup the login window. Then, I hard coded in my own login credentials as:
URLRequestDefaults.setLoginCredentialsForHost("99.99.99.99", "alan", "1234");
That worked to get logged in at least, and did bring back the data OK.
Still working on the getting the popup the login window.
