Convert curl to flex

can anyboy tell me the equivalent of this in flex

curl --insecure --request POST --basic -u testuser@mydomain.com:password --header "Content-Type:application/xml" --data-binary "@c:\curl\examples\New_Activity.xml" https://beta.12sprints.com/v1/activities

basicaly this ia a api in which i need to send the user 开发者_运维百科credentials and a xml file containing the data(new_activity)

for the credentials i tried to add it as a header authencation and encoding it to base64

var enc:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder(); enc.encode("saurav.das@sap.com" + ":" + password); myservice.headers["Authorization"] ="basic "+enc.toString(); myservice.send();

but that too doesn`t work... please help..

just_a_dude has the Authentication part, but the xml in his sample doesn't work with the current 12sprints API, and it shouldn't be Base64 encoded. Here's a modified version of his sample that works (just change the username/password):

            // the xml we want to send to the server
            var xml:String = "<activity name=\"New activity using cURL\"></activity>"


            var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
            bytes.writeUTFBytes(xml);

            // encoded credentials
            var credentials:Base64Encoder = new Base64Encoder();
            credentials.encode("testuser@example.com:pass");


            var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("https://beta.12sprints.com/v1/activities");
            request.data = bytes;
            request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
            request.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + credentials));
            request.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/xml"));

            var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;

            loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
            loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
            loader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, errorHandler);

            loader.load(request);   
    }

    protected function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
            trace("complete");
    }

    protected function errorHandler(event:Event):void {
            trace("error : ", event);

            var loader:URLLoader = event.currentTarget as URLLoader;
            trace(loader.data); 
    }

I'm not sure, but maybe this is the way to go
