Flex Sample Viewer 2.2

Question

Is there any documentation on, how to use proxy in config.xml file or proxyURL tag or How to connect to secured services in Flex Viewer 2.2. The sample viewer don't have a proxy support for widgets.

The API for flex documentation has reference on connecting to services using Javascript but not Flex. 
http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/flex/help/index.html#proxy.htm

Thanks and Regards,
Shail

I tried swapping out the fully qualified name (http://atlas.co.anoka.mn.us) but that didn't work. I suspect the problem might be proxy tag in the configuration section of the config.xml Can anyone verify that the line of this code looks correct? http://gis.anokacountymn.gov/highway/flexviewer15/proxy.ashx Anoka County Highway Department County Road Construction Locator assets/images/ACHD Logo.jpg

John,

It sounds like you are using a Reverse Proxy Server Configuration. If that is the case than what I do is use the fully qualified map service name in the config.xml not just atlas. Of course it sounds like your configuration might be a little different as my web server with the flex app on it is inside the firewall along with my ArcGIS server and data and the only thing in the DMZ is my reverse proxy server.

The application is on a web server in the DMZ, but ArcGIS server is on server Atlas inside the firewall. We have a crossdomain file in place on Atlas and the application works fine internally, but when you try to view it outside our network, none of the map services show up.  We have two other web applications deployed externally that use similar proxy pages to call the services from Atlas.  This is my first crack at using the Sample Flex Viewer.

One other thing to note, when the proxy page is in place and referenced in the code, the map services don't display internally either.  If I remove the proxy page then they display internally but not externally. Any idea?
