Maybe someone can comment on this....
With older versions of the Flex viewer, when the REST services directory was disabled you would get polygons on the map but none of the widgets worked...no popup, no search, etc.
The newer version of the viewer you can now get popups while the Services Directory is disabled but still the search widget, including Robert's awesome esearch widget will not work. It looks like maybe there is another URL option for the REST service that will enable the tools to work when its disabled but I hit a wall on the intel.
MapServer?f=jsapi or MapServer?f=amf
Anyone figured out a way to "hide" your services from the world while at the same time exposing them and all of the functionality through the Flex viewer?
It seems silly that we would have to keep that directory open to the world just to use the flex viewer.
Thank you!
