XML won't load over HTTPS!!!

[ablair]

I'm writing an application for my PDA that needs to get secure data from my server. I'm using xml.sendAndLoad to achieve this. On a PC browser this works perfectly. On my PDA I get "No Response" when using SSL, I get XML data returned if I don't use SSL.

See the following test code. When I use SSL for the url I get "No Response" when I don't use SSL I get the XML response data.

By the way, I just placed a dynamic text box on the stage to view "returnText".

Flash Code

var myURL = "https://www.geckopc.com.au/testXML.php";

var xmlReply:XML = new XML();
xmlReply.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
{
	if(success)
	{
		returnText = xmlReply.firstChild;

	}else
	{
		returnText = "No response";
	}
}

var reqXML:XML = new XML("<packet d=\"getData\"></packet>");
reqXML.sendAndLoad(myURL, xmlReply);

PHP Code

$rawXML = file_get_contents("php://input"); 

$fh = fopen("phpXML.txt","a");
fputs($fh, $rawXML."\n\n",8182);
fclose($fh);

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($rawXML);

if($xml['d'] = "getData")
{
	echo "<packet><mydata>test data</mydata></packet>";
}else
{
	echo "<packet><mydata>No Data requested</mydata></packet>";
}

PDA: Dopod 838Pro, Windows Mobile 6 Pro, PIE with flash 7 player.
SWF: Created in flash cs3, published as version 7 with AS 2.0.

I have exausted my brain on this one, any ideas would be appreciated.

I'm no PHP coder, but the first thing I'd look at would be this:

if($xml['d'] = "getData")

I'd be wondering if this is an assignment and not a comparison, for which you would need a double equal "==" sign...

Thanks for your attention to detail goliard, you are correct.

However, this was just some sample code I put up to illustrate the problem. Even with this error corrected, it works using "http" but doesn't work usinh "https". Even more confusing it that it works using "https" on a PC browser but not on a PDA (PIE).

At this stage I'm leaning towards XML.sendAndReceive having a bug in Flash Player 7 for Pocket Internet Explorer.

I would suggest you also post in Adobe's windows mobile forum. There may be a number of people there who have specific experience with this problem.
