Running Share URLs inside AIR has some problems.1. Currently when you save an edit to a blog, wiki, etc. in the Share tab you get "Page Update Failed". This doesn't happen when you run Share normally outside of AIR, in a browser.Changing the share code to do posts instead of puts from these FORMs se

Are you trying this on Windows by any chance?

Looks related to this known issue with AIR 1.1

Annoying - looks like AIR is blocking some standard REST HTTP methods then (probably everything other than GET and POST).

If there's a reliable way of discovering at runtime when in an AIR environment, we could use POST with ?alf_method={put|delete} instead of the native methods.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

Noticed that YUI has detection of AIR

YAHOO.env.ua.air

Hi Steve

Patch attached to ALFCOM-1904 (as public SVN is currently under maintenance). Note: Please use patch v2.txt rather than the first one.

Thanks,

Mike,

With alfresco Labs 3.0 3b build 1164 from Sept 10 2008

Needed to change <install dir>/tomcat/webapps/share/js/alfresco.js
    if (YAHOO.env.ua.air > 0)
to:
    if (YAHOO.env.ua.air != 0)

to get the tunneling to kick in when running share in air (test with air 1.1 on windows vista and mac osx clients)
and to be able to save share wiki and blog edits

in firefox 3.01, YAHOO.env.ua.air   was 0
in AIR 1.1, YAHOO.env.ua.air was "Adobe AIR/1.0"
    (not the float 1.0 mentioned in http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/docs/YAHOO.env.ua.html )

Used share tab in 0.6 flexspaces+air+share http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/download.php/478/flexspaces-air-share-experimental.zip
(this requires the 0.6 flexspaces webscripts installed http://forge.alfresco.com/frs/download.php/463/webscripts-only.zip
to login and get to share tab, however the share tab is "pure share", just runs the http://localhost:8080/share/ url in a AIR HTMLLoader)
