I’m having some sort of strange blockage with the p-r-f. I can call it up through my socket in the browsers with http://192.168.1.100:843/crossdomain.xml and also have configured my C# chat server to respond with the same file if the request header regex = policy-file-request. I have also validated that the server is sending out the entire file including the terminating null character (0).

According to adobe, there has been some changes to the policy schema and the crossdomain.xml file should include:

>site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies=”all”/<

and for socket connections your header need to include:
Content-Type: text/x-cross-domain-policy

In AS I added the command:
Security.loadPolicyFile(“xmlsocket://192.168.1.100:843);
…yet I still get:

Error: Request for resource at xmlsocket://192.168.1.100:843 by requestor from http://192.168.1.100:843/chat.swf is denied due to lack of policy file permissions.

This has been a 2.5 week journey of frustation for me. Is there someone I can pay to debug my code so I can get on with my life?

My production servers currently each average about 12k policy xml requests a day and while they have long since evolved from the code I’m sharing here, the core logic is very similar. See if the \0 makes it less likely to re-request the data.

I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful right now, I’m too busy banging out new code to look over this old class tonight.

1) convert the format to unix. because this file has CR|LF at the end of lines. You need LF only.
2) chmod +x FlashPolicyService.php
3) then you can run as in ./FlashPolicyService.php

Last line shows that it got invalid request. is this normal? How can I fix that? thank you.

yum install php-process

I think I don’t have posix installed although phpinfo shows it’s enabled. I tried to install it on Plesk, and it shows that it’s installed.

Could you please show me how to install posix? thank you
