Security error #3769 breaks navigateToUrl() while trying to save PDF about alivepdf HOT 5 CLOSED

Please provide a solution to fix this issue?

The solution is relatively simple, actually.

Open "/src/org/alivepdf/pdf/PDF.as" and replace the save method (line 3473, at 
least in version "AlivePDF 0.1.5 RC") with the following.

Note that the only modifications are to the "case Method.REMOTE :" block; the 
rest is untouched.



public function save ( method:String, url:String='', 
downloadMethod:String='inline', fileName:String='generated.pdf', 
frame:String="_blank" ):*
{
    dispatcher.dispatchEvent( new ProcessingEvent ( ProcessingEvent.STARTED ) );
    var started:Number = getTimer();
    finish();
    dispatcher.dispatchEvent ( new ProcessingEvent ( ProcessingEvent.COMPLETE, getTimer() - started ) );
    buffer.position = 0;
    var output:* = null;

    switch (method)
    {
        case Method.LOCAL : 
            output = buffer;
            break;  

        case Method.BASE_64 : 
            output = Base64.encode64 ( buffer );
            break;

        case Method.REMOTE :
            //Modified on 2014.07.21 to resolve a recent change to Flash Player
            //(introduced in version 13.0.0.214) that broke AlivePDF. As of this version of
            //Flash, the original AlivePDF code produced the following runtime error:
            //SecurityError: Error #3769: Security sandbox violation: Only simple headers can be used with navigateToUrl() or sendToUrl().

            var bytesTemp : ByteArray = buffer;
            var sendRequest:URLRequest =new URLRequest(url+'?name='+fileName+'&method='+downloadMethod);
            sendRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
            sendRequest.data = bytesTemp;
            navigateToURL(sendRequest, '_blank');

            break;

        default:
            throw new Error("Unknown Method \"" + method + "\"");
    }

    return output;
}

You may need to modify the following line to work with your particular 
server-side implementation, though:

var sendRequest:URLRequest =new 
URLRequest(url+'?name='+fileName+'&method='+downloadMethod);

BAM! Solved! :)

Already tried this.. but no luck.... with above code changes the binary data 
i.e buffer is not passing to the server side script.. did this worked for you?

Fixed in PDF.as

Also on server side, you need to replace $GLOBALS["HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA"]
by: file_get_contents('php://input')
