edward de jong commented on COUCHDB-867:
----------------------------------------
i am trying to get flash to connect to my database, and desperately need this
crossdomain.xml file to get served up. can somebody please tell me how to
create the local.ini file, and where that file is supposed to go? i don't see a
local.ini file on my machine...
> Add http handlers for root files with special meanings, such as
> crossdomain.xml.

> Key: COUCHDB-867
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-867
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HTTP Interface
> Affects Versions: 1.0.1
> Reporter: Eric Desgranges
> Attachments: handle_file_req.diff
>
>
> Some files at the root level of a website have a special meaning, such as
> favicon.ico storing the favorite icon, which is processed correctly in the
> [httpd_global_handlers] section of the ini file with this instruction:
> favicon.ico = {couch_httpd_misc_handlers, handle_favicon_req,
> "../share/couchdb/www"}
> But this is the only one handled while other files, which are critical when
> to accessing the CouchDB server from Flash, Flex, Silverlight..., are missing
> - crossdomain.xml (this one should be a top priority fix!)
> - clientaccesspolicy.xml -- See
> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc838250%28v=VS.95%29.aspx#crossdomain_communication
> And there's also 'robots.txt' to prevent search engines from accessing some
> files / directories.
