I'm able to use a username/password application to login
into my webserver directory by using the
servername:port...; I'm
unable to login using the localhost, or outside domain.
I can see the the page, but it doesn't respond.
It doen't give me an error because is done in flash.
BUt it work s from the inside using the
http://servername:port/...
Why?

There has to be a security feature not allowing ASP data
to flow using localhost or a domain. Like I said, using
the servername:port works with no problem.
I'm using flash-xml to send data to an asp form that store
information inside a database.

Thanks in advance.
