Access HTTP response headers in for flash.net.URLLoader object?

Question

Is there a way to access the response headers from an HTTP result when using Flash/Flex's URLLoader?

Setting the request headers is possible, as is accessing the response code, but getting a hold of the actual response headers seems to be conspicuously lacking...

Specifically, I would like to get a hold of the Last-Modified response header.

Oops. Answering my own question here, but AIR introduces the URLLoader.httpResponseStatus event which includes a responseHeaders property (plus a responseURL property for brownie points).

Thankfully my question was for an AIR application, so that solves my problem. It's still a bit shocking that non-AIR flash/flex applications cannot seem to access the response headers.

I'm trying to get hold of response header when loading mp3 in sound object (there should come some additional headers). Any idea?

Hmm, can't tell you off the top of my head - I think more info would help. Be bold and ask a new question, I say. Comment the link here, and I'll try answer.

It looks like the Flash Player does not get the http response status event. More info here, help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/…. If anything has changed still looking for a way to do this.
