Remote URLS

I'm trying to use a remote URL for a datasource. The docs
say:
The URL you decide to use (whether absolute or relative) is
subject to the browser’s security model, which means that you
can only load data from an XML source that is on the same server
domain as the HTML page you’re linking from. You can get
around this limitation by providing a cross-domain service script.
For more information, consult your server administrator.
I've heard of crossdomain files for Flash, but what exactly
is meant here? For example, the RSS reader demo does everything
locally, but a "real" RSS reader wouldn't do that. So how would it
work?

Hi Ray,
The real RSS Reader uses CF or PHP to pull in all the feeds.
We provided all the dummy XML files so the demo would work straight
from the zip.
Check feeds.cfm and feeds.php in the rssreader/data folder.
It gets the feeds from LiveFeeds.XML.
Thanks,
Don

How do I place a remote url in the table of contents?

Hi,
We were recently customizing icons for our WebHelp output, and in doing so discovered the option to customize an icon for Remote URL. It can be found by navigating to the Skin Editor:
WebHelp Skin Editor/Navigation/Remote URL
Changing the icon was easy. But I can't figure out how you place such a remote URL so that it appears in the book hierarchy and table of contents? I tried placing it in the HTML Files in the Project Manager pod, but don't see any option to accomplish it that way.
Coudl anyone please share how this is accomplished?
Thanks in advance,
Douglas

If you open the TOC pod, there should be a button for adding a new TOC page. In the dialog box that displays, you should be able to set a URL rather than a project topic.

Remote URL with parameters

I'm building a ADF Mobile application and would like to call remote URL with parameters however there is no concrete example of this in the developer guide. I would like to call www.google.com?q=queryParam where queryParam is an user input.
Thank you...

I think you need to first define a white list of sites and this will allow opening the page in the web view instead of a separate browser see:

How to configure the combobox while using connecting throught the remote URL.

I am using the combobox in the server for the selection of process stages and is working fine.
Now I want to connect the combobox through the remote URL connection of my client system. So that it will be updated simultaneously in client and server.
While connecting through the remote URL it is giving the message the to enter the value property.
I am not able to understand what value is to be entered in this option.
Please advise the solution at the earliest.

Remote URL iView

Hi,
I tried to export data from a table view, which is filled by a query, into a excel file. Everything works fine, except the excel file is empty.
I have done everything like described in:

I`m quite sure, that the BW system and the VC are on different server. The document above says, that I then need a remote url iView.
How do I create that?
The BW system is marked as master and with system alias sap_bw as suggested in <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/vc/exporting%2bdata%2bfrom%2bvc">https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/vc/exporting%2bdata%2bfrom%2bvc</a>
Has anyone an idea who I can export the Data?
Regards,

Hi Miriam,
Just find out the URL of your Web Application created thru EAR deployment. (like when you do a test run of the ear in the browser.) Copy that URL and go to the Portal Content Administration area. Click on any folder and right click and say 'New iView'.
Then select URL iView and give the URL copied above. thats it.
Hope this helps.

[AIR/Desktop] StageWebView doesnt load remote URLs when rendermode is direct

Hey there,
Im porting an CS6-AIR-App from IOS to Desktop, in the IOS-App, i use rendermode GPU, everything works fine.
In the Desktop-App im using renderMode "direct" (no GPU mode selectable in CS6).
Some strange behavior came up.
If rendermode is "auto" (or cpu), StageWebView loads local and remote html, but the App is slow, not an option.
If rendermode is "direct", StageWebView loads local, but not remote html, though the App is fast now.
My Fallback is to use HTMLLoader and it works with both rendermodes for both local/remote urls.
Question: is there any drawback using HTMLLoader instead of StageWebView (e.g missing hardware accelaration)?
Anyway, It would be nice to know whats going on and why StageWebView doesnt work.
Using: captive/included runtime Air 3.5+3.6, Flash CS6, OSX 10.7.5.
thanks,
V.

I'm also having problems with StageWebView:
- Only in Desktop (iOS and Android work fine)
- Only with AIR 3.6 and 3.7 beta (older versions such as 3.5 work fine)
- But in my case it happens BOTH with Direct mode and CPU mode
In my case, the page is just shown black, no content, and no events are fired. That's why I filed this bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3514201
I've also tried to use the ASC 1.0 version or AIR 3.6 and the problem persists, so it's not a problem with the new compiler, but with AIR 3.6 itself.
Please, vote the above bug report, to try to get this fixed!

Problem creating an image from a remote url

I am creating a servlet which does the following:
1. retrieves an image from a remote url
2. resizes the image
3. sends the image to the client.
The servlet works fine when I run it on my PC, but when I run it on the server, it doesn't. Here's the problematic code
    private Image getRemoteImage(String imageUrl) throws Exception {
        System.err.println("in getRemoteImage()");
        if (!imageUrl.startsWith("http://")) imageUrl = "http://" + imageUrl;
        URL u = new URL(imageUrl);
        System.err.println("imageUrl: " + imageUrl);
        HttpURLConnection huc = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
        huc.setRequestMethod("GET");
        System.err.println("connecting...");
        huc.connect();
        System.err.println("Getting DataInputStream...");
        DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(u.openStream());
        //DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(huc.getInputStream());
        System.err.println("...got");
        int numBytes = huc.getContentLength(); //1063
        System.err.println("numBytes: " + numBytes);
        byte[] imageBytes = new byte[numBytes];
        System.err.println("reading fully...");
        in.readFully(imageBytes);
        System.err.println("...read");
        in.close();
        System.err.println("creating imageIcon");
        ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(imageBytes); //   <-- problem here
        System.err.println("** THIS LINE IS NOT REACHED **");
        System.err.println("creating image");
        Image image = imageIcon.getImage();
        System.err.println("returning image");
        return image;
    }When I access the servlet with FF, the browser reports:
The image �<my servlet url>� cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.
When I access the servlet with IE, I get:
Apache Tomcat/4.0.3 - HTTP Status 500 - Internal Server Error

Cheers rebol.
I've tried that (along with all other kinds of techniques I never knew existed). I think it might be a problem with the Tomcat setup - it may need to run headless (sounds a bit severe!...).

Play mp3 from remote url

Hi Everyone,
I am Completely new to Flash and Flash based development. I
require some help in creating a flash document.
I need to connect to a remote URL file and play the audio, it
is an MP3 file. I have tried some methods but as i am starting from
scratch i do not have any idea and I am stuck.
Basically, i want a simple label like "play" to appear and
when clicked on it connect to a URL specified (probably using
Action script) and play the MP3 file.
I have tried searching the forums and Internet before asking
this question but I did not get any accurate answer.
Kindly respond to this query if anyone has the answer.I
require this very urgently.
Thank you for the support.

You could do something as plain and simple as putting a place
holder movie
clip on the stage and give it an instance name of
placeholder.
Then for your button:
myBtn.onRelease = function(){
placeholder.loadMovie("myURLtoMP3.mp3")

RH5 JavaHelp Remote URL to Web Form

I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue.
In order to get around the JavaHelp limitations with forms, we have been linking via a remote URL to a web form (created in FrontPage) to collect feedback through email. The form is no longer working in JavaHelp. The page loads in the JavaHelp window, but it never goes anywhere. When you click submit, the form resets and nothing is received in email. The form works fine when linked on the web or in WebHelp.
I've tried a removing the link and reinserting, changing the recipient, the confirmation page, but no luck. Any suggestions? Other than switching to something other than JavaHelp -- 'fraid I've got no control over that decision

Hi there
I suppose JavaHelp is incapable of opening just a plain ole Web Page in a new window? That sounds like all you really need to achieve here.
Cheers... Rick

Remote URLs for See Also Keyword Topics

I am having difficulty entering a remote URL as a topic
destination for a See Also Keyword. With the appropriate See Also
Keyword selected, I click the New Keyword Topic icon. One of the
available dropdown options for the Keyword Topic Destination is
"Remote URLs." However, when that is selected, the "Link To" field
at the bottom of the form is unavailable.
I also used the Find Topic feature to attempt a search for
topics in a separate help project, and the only returns provided by
RoboHelp were for topics that existed in the currently open
project.
Is there some setup option or something I'm missing?

Welcome to our community, S_Reynolds
One option you would have at your beckon call would be to
create simple redirect topics that point to the remote URLs. Then
link those to the See Also keywords.
Cheers... Rick

[ADF Mobile] remote url feature

I have several questions from a customer regarding ADF mobile capabilities. They have already developed an ADF application and are looking at reusing that in an ADF Mobile application.
1. How can I access phone features from inside a Remote URL feature? Do I need to add the phonegap javascript libraries and code to the remote app or do I need to do smth on my mobile app?
2. Can I access content exposed by the page in the remote URL feature? For instance, let's say that on my remote app I have a list of POIs that I want to display on a map in my mobile app. Can I achieve that with remote url + an additional feature(to show the map) or should I use web services +amx pages?

Hi ,
i want to tell my knowledge that i know about your questions.
1) You cant access native features from remote url.
2) You can only reach native features by using mobile app. ADF mobile can do this as you know.
3) Phonegap is using on mobile platforms.
4) You cant access content exposed by the page in the remote URL feature but u can use content via calling webservices from your mobile app.

ParentSandboxBridge with remote URL.

Hi all,
I was reading up on the security sandboxing model in AIR here and I was wondering whether the following was possible.
1. I have a HTML based Ajax application which needs to open up a URL on a remote server. For the sake of argument, lets say this is http://www.eye.fi/auth.php.
2. http://www.eye.fi/auth.php has a JavaScript function defined called returnToApp which is invoked when the user interacts with http://www.eye.fi/auth.php
3. When returnToApp is invoked, I need to execute functionality in my AIR app. So, I basically need to set some kind of listener in my AIR app which listens for the returnToApp in auth.php to be invoked.
In my AIR application, I'm opening up http://www.eye.fi/auth.php using the air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow method, but the examples in the security sandboxing documentation usually have the 'parentSandboxBridge' attached to an iframe. I guess I have a couple of questions:
1. Is it possible to attach a bridge between an AIR application and a remote URL?
2. If so, is it possible to listen for a particular method in the remote page to get invoked and pass information from the remote page back to the AIR application.
If this is not possible, or you'd suggest me take a different route, I'd be very interested to hear your opinions.
Cheers
Sean

Yes, the sandbox bridge mechanism lets JavaScript from a page in a non-application sandbox (e.g., from a remote URL) communicate with JavaScript in the parent page that is in the application (AIR) sandbox. The parent page can also reference a function in the remote page (via the sandbox bridge).
Here's a little "quick start" tutorial describing how to use a sandbox bridge in an HTML-based AIR application:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/ajax/quickstart/sandbox_bridge.html
Sandbox bridging sets up communication between the parent page (in the AIR application sadbox) and a child iframe or frame. To do this usingHTMLLoader.createRootWindow, load an HTML page from the application sandbox (an HTML file installed with your applicaiton) as the content of the created window. This page should use an iframe or frame to load the remote content, and it should define functions to be exposed via the sandbox bridge.

Error when retrieving data from remote url

Hello,
I'm trying to do something that should be very simple --
letting a user enter something in a textbox, then using that data
as a script parameter when calling a remote cgi script, and
returning the results to the screen.
The remote cgi is sending data in plain text. I have looked
at several examples, and I've tried using an XMLHttpRequest, I've
tried using the servicemonitor.swf methods, and I've tried with
URLRequest and URLLoader methods. All fail in one way or another.
Here's the code for the URLRequest/URLLoader method...
function fetchISSN(myform) {
air.trace("Starting Fetch");
var mytitle = myform.title.value;
air.trace("TITLE: " + mytitle);
var reqURL = "
http://grlinker.coalliance.org/grbin/ilu_rmt.cgi";
air.trace("URL: " + reqURL);
var variables = new air.URLVariables("title=" + mytitle +
"&isf=plain");
air.trace("URLPARMS: " + variables);
// var element = document.getElementById('results');
var request = new air.URLRequest(reqURL);
air.trace("Request Object Created");
request.data = variables;
air.trace("Data Added to request");
request.method = air.URLRequestMethod.POST;
var loader = new air.URLLoader();
air.trace("Loader Object Created");
loader.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
loader.addEventListener(air.Event.OPEN, loadOpen);
try {
loader.load(request);
} catch(e) {
alert('Could NOT load data: ' + e);
} // end of function fetchISSN
function loadComplete(event) {
// alert('Downloaded ' + loader.bytesTotal);
alert('Complete');
// element.innerText = loader.data;
} // end of function loadComplete()
function loadOpen(event) {
alert('Downloading');
} // end of function loadComplete()
And the HTML that calls it...
<table width="280" border="1" align="center">
<tr><td align="center">
<font size="2">Enter a title and click
submit.</font>
<form name="issn">
<input type="text" name="title" /><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"
onClick="javascript:fetchISSN(this.form)" />
</form>
</td></tr>
</table>
Things go fine until it hits the loadComplete function. At
that point, the following error is generated...
Error: The application attempted to reference a JavaScript
object in an HTML page that is no longer loaded.
at __HTMLScriptFunction/throwJSObjectDead()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()
Can anyone give me any advice or even a reason for this
failure. I did find a bug about this in the bugtracker, it says it
is resolved with an "external" resolution. I'm not sure what that
means. Is there a patch I'm missing? Am I doing something really
stupid?
Just for reference, I'm on a Mac running OS X 10.5.6, using
the SDK for development.
Thanks!
Scott

Hi,
Can you try putting the declaration of the URLLoader instance
outside your fetchISSN function and see?
That is:
var loader;
function fetchISSN(myform) {
//your code above this line
loader = new URLLoader();
//rest of your code

Using powershell to deploy provider-hosted app and specify remote Url instead of using appinv.aspx page

Hello all,
Could you possibly help me with provider-hosted app development/deployment process.
We developed SharePoint provider-hosted app that works just fine in development environment. Now we need to automate it's installation in test environment via powershell.
In AppManifest.xml that we are deploying we have key instead of explicit URL:
<App xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/2012/app/manifest" Name="ShowAllRoomsApp" ProductID="{922a18aa-5592-b59a-4da9-4791baef02e7}" Version="1.0.0.0"
SharePointMinVersion="15.0.0.0">
<Properties>
<Title>SomeTitle</Title>
<StartPage>~remoteAppUrl/Pages/Default.aspx?{StandardTokens}</StartPage>
If we use as
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj655398.aspx recommends, we cannot specify Redirect Url as we can do this on
/_layouts/appinv.aspx
So now it seems like the only way to deploy this kind of solution is using appinv.aspx page.Or must we apply this URL in AppManifest on developing stage in Visual Studio?
What did I miss?
P. S. Even if I use /_layouts/appinv.aspx after powershell commandlets, I get error.

hi,
to deploy provider hosted app you need 2 things
1. Client ID
2. Redirect URL.
What you can do you can generate app from visual studio using clientID and URL from developer enviornment.
Now a app file is just a simple compressed zip file if you rename it as .zip and extract you will find AppManifest
inside it. So to create an app for Testing enviornment what you have to to Get the CLient ID (from AppRegNew.aspx) in testing enviornment. Unzip .App file change the AppManifest with testing client ID and URL than again zip file and rename as .app.
Now if you upload this file it will work.
To automate this scenerio i have created a simple windows Application in which i Pass the Client ID and StartURl and an App File it unzips the app file make changes to app and again zip it.
public static class AppPackageHelper
public const string StartUrlExpression = "{0}?{1}";
public const string StandardToken = "{StandardTokens}";
public static string Publish(string appPath, string ClientId,string StartUrl)
string tempDir = string.Empty;
string outPutFile = string.Empty;
try
string parentDir = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(appPath);
outPutFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(parentDir, ClientId + "-Winshuttle.app");
tempDir = System.IO.Path.Combine(parentDir, ClientId.ToString());
Directory.CreateDirectory(tempDir);
int lastInd = appPath.LastIndexOf('.');

Also if you want to do it using powershell You need to do the same thing unzip-> changes values-> zip
So basic thing is You need to ahve only valid AppManifest file which contains 2 valid values Client Id and StartUrl
if you changes it inside appmanifest manuall than it will also work. Using above code you can create a console Application to do it. You can use powershell it just that i dont know how to zip unzip in powershell but i am pretty sure you can easily find it
on searching.

Remote URL is not working from html embedded as3 code

Hello,
i am working on a flash currency converter application, for that purpose i am fetching the latest currency rates from yahoo,
i am using flash cs5 and as3, i am getting the desired response from yahoo when i run the flash file from Flash cs5 (ctrl+enter) and also after publishing (F12) by opening the html file just created by flash cs5.
BUT
when i am moving the html and swf file over a web server (WAMP in my case), the response from yahoo is no longer working for me, i have checked it in both localhost, and on remote server.
what can be the issue? it seems so strange to me..
any positive and quick response in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards
maani...

My Try was:
i create a crossdomain.xml file which looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
   <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
   <allow-access-from domain="*" secure="false"/>
   <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="false"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
and in action script i write:
import flash.system.Security
Security.loadPolicyFile("crossdomain.xml");
Did i missed anything?
