Eugenics Archive - Remaining issues after Flash Remoting support

[danielhjacobs]

Describe the bug

The images do not appear.

• Click the magnifying glass for Search
• Click Accept
• Click Topics
• Click "Agricultural Genetics"

Additionally, when searching, no search results numbers show even when there are results:

• Click the magnifying glass for Search
• Click Accept
• Click the TextField for Search
• Type "id735" (without the quotes)
• Click the word "Search"

• After the previous steps, click the label "Race Mixing and Marriage Laws ()" or "Hereditary Disorders ()"

A direct link to a search result does not load (for example, http://www.eugenicsarchive.org/html/eugenics/index2.html?tag=735):

Expected behavior

Clickable images should load under the list of image results:

The search for "id735" should say "Your search for "id735" returned 1 results." instead of "Your search for "id735" returned results.", the number "1" should appear in the parentheses next to both "Race Mixing and Marriage Laws" and "Hereditary Disorders":

Clicking either result after the search should load the image:

A direct link to a search result should load (for example, http://www.eugenicsarchive.org/html/eugenics/index2.html?tag=735):

The encoding of the data may be the issue, meaning this may be an AMF0 issue or an issue of a misuse of AMF0 by NetConnection. However, unlike #16381, the response is nearly identical, with a minor two character difference between the Flash and Ruffle responses. But this difference may be enough to change the output.
