As regards the BlueBox it works exclusively with HTTP, so it's not possible.
Thanks


Thanks. That's all I needed to know :wink:

Re: SSL Encryption?

The simplest way for transferring encrypted data is using an HTTPS transaction to your webserver. Typically these transactions are required when registering an account, or maybe updating some other parts of the personal profile. In these cases it's much easier to just use an HTTPS call, than anythi...

Re: SSL Encryption?

I would highly recommend to take a look here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7839 I had read that thread - very good information. Can you explain your use case? Its all about our client being super cautious about protecting users "Personally identifiable information" (PII). Information that you...

Re: Bluebox Config - Any way to tell it not to try tcp first

Thanks, I'm currently doing the wrong port "trick". I was just curious if there was a setting to not even bother trying tcp first. The wrong port is acceptable though.

Thanks for the heads up on scalability.

Bluebox Config - Any way to tell it not to try tcp first?

When using Bluebox - is there anyway to configure the client so that it doesn't bother trying the tcp port first and just connects via Bluebox? We may have a situation where we know everyone will need to connect via HTTP (or HTTPS) and we know the tcp request will fail.

SSL Encryption?

If we wanted all communication (from a Java client) with the SFX2x server to be encrypted is there a way to use SSL for this? I see that we can use Bluebox to send traffic via HTTP but its not clear to me how to configure everything so that the traffic is encrypted over SSL. If this is possible coul...

Re: Matching on "Something in common"

No, this is a very specific requirement. Users can be matched individually against a certain number of conditions (match expressions), for example those necessary to enter a specific game Room. They are not matched with each others. So for this task you will need to use a server side Extension that...

Matching on "Something in common"

Is there any way to do matching on users that have something in common? For example, lets say that users have a list of car models that they are interested in. user_x has the following cars that they like ["camaro", "corvette", "beetle"] user_y has the following cars th...

Re: Possible to change user name on the server side?

Is it also possible to set user variables at the same time we change the user name or does the actual user object not exists yet?

The encrypted login token may also contain some information on the user that we'd want added to the user's attributes.

Possible to change user name on the server side?

Is it possible to change the user's name as they log in? Our clients are going to login with an encrypted username and expiration date. In the extension I was thinking that I could have a custom login event handler that decrypts the string, validates the expiration date and sets the user's actual us...

No Client Notification when Server goes Away

SFS: 2.3.0 Client: 1.0.1 I have a Java client listening for Connection Lost: sfsClient.addEventListener(SFSEvent.CONNECTION_LOST, this); This seems to work fine when the server disconnects the user (after a timeout). However, if the server crashes (or goes down for whatever reason) the client gets n...

Extension Handler Unit Test - how to?

I've read comments in this forum about splitting out logic from the main extension in order to perform unit test. I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction on how to unit test something like my simplistic client request handler below. Its not a real world example of a handler that I...
