Hi Ivo,

This is unfortunate. I will look into what we can do to continue to offer our API to Flash developers.

Cheers, -Jeff

Hello,

Seems the next rev of the Flash Player will not authorize direct socket connections to ports unless authorized by a policy file
(http://www.adobe.com/go/kb403186).

I was using direct socket connections to port 80 when using the Picasa API so I could get around the issue of the Flash Player not allowing certain custom headers. Seems this will stop working after the next Flash Player update unless a socket policy file is made available
onhttp://photos.googleapis.com:843. Any plans to support this?

Thanks,
