Hey,

I'm doing a sendAndLoad in my flash which sends some XML to a PHP script which then processes it and sends back some XML.

I want this to be secure, as in, not editable with a HTTP debugger such as Charles.

Is SSL the answer? If so how do I do this?

If not I assume I'm going to have to manually encrypt and decrypt

Cheers

I couldn't find any documentation on SSL being supported in Flash's XML class so it's unlikely it is...
There's no harm in trying it anyway though, and testing whether the Flash client is speaking ssl using a protocol analyser.

Manual encryption is always fun though :P
I don't think you have any control over the http headers being passed over in Flash, so make sure there is nothing you want confidential beingjavascript:BBSPost.Save(); passed in the headers.

Regading SSL in Flash, the flash forum is better to ask for that specifically.

I doubt a lot of people in the Flash forum know anything about SSL; he was right to ask here instead.

Not about SSL in general, about SSL in Flash. I realise he mentioned the other end as well, but it was more a reply to Palias than anything else.

No trust me, this belongs in this forum. Don't worry anyway guys, I'll ask my PHP guy, though it will probably end up being manual
