For basic authentication you have to encode your username and password in service call headers like this:

import mx.utils.Base64Encoder;
private function authAndSend(service:HTTPService):void
{
        var encoder:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
        encoder.insertNewLines = false;
        encoder.encode("someusername:somepassword");

        service.headers = {Authorization:"Basic " + encoder.toString()};                                                
        service.send();
}

  • Also make sure you use POST. Auth headers get stripped if you try to use GET. – chrsmrtn Mar 27 '12 at 16:42

  • You can change the `service.url` if you need to call another URL (I suppose you use **HTTPService**) – a.s.t.r.o Mar 28 '12 at 15:13
