Hello all, I am still trying to get this master policy server setup sorted out. I have tested couple different policy servers:
http://blog.zappmonkey.com/2008/01/13/tcltk-flash-socket-policy-server/ http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/socket_policy_files.html and they appear to work as expected when tested from the command-line: perl -e 'printf "<policy-file-request/>\0"' | nc mysite.com 843 <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd";> <cross-domain-policy> <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/> <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="6666"/> </cross-domain-policy> I still see no evidence that the Flash Player is trying to get a policy file from port 843 tho. Nothing noted in the policylog.txt & using tcpdump I dont see anything except an attempt to get http://mysite:6666/crossdomain.xml . As noted in earlier messages I have the line Security.loadPolicyFile('xmlsocket://mysite.com:843'); Anyone had to set up a policy server and can give me ideas on how to pin the issue?
