Hi,
Just turn back from twitter where Ive seen a tweet mentioning The Apache Flex installer is really cool; but it is taking forever to download Apache Flex SDK. And thats true, it takes ages, worse than that, if you do another SDK installation, it takes the same time. I never played with all the headers you can use with AIR to download multiple parts of a file at a same time, anyone know how to use them to do it ? Accept-Charset, Accept-Encoding, Accept-Ranges, Age, Allow, Allowed, Authorization, Charge-To, Connect, Connection, Content-Length, Content-Location, Content-Range, Cookie, Date, Delete, ETag, Expect, Get, Head, Host, Keep-Alive, Last-Modified, Location, Max-Forwards, Options, Origin, Post, Proxy-Authenticate, Proxy-Authorization, Proxy-Connection, Public, Put, Range, Referer, Request-Range, Retry-After, Server, TE, Trace, Trailer, Transfer-Encoding, Upgrade, URI, User-Agent, Vary, Via, Warning, WWW-Authenticate, x-flash-version. The other trick would be to keep a cache of all downloaded stuffs in the application folder to avoid downloading again in case the user wants another version installed. Any thoughts and volunteers ? -Fred
