RE: [flexcoders] POP3 by Socket

[Ted Patrick]

Rogerio,   The only way to access pop3.domain.com is to put a crossdomain.xml policy file on that server. The domain sandbox was tightened given a security hole in the Flash Player 7 generation.   Admins will usually support adding crossdomain.xml policy files to servers for customers. Make sure the crossdomain.xml file is generic like so:   <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd"> <cross-domain-policy>    <allow-access-from domain="*" /> </cross-domain-policy>   Options:   Get an admin to add the crossdomain.xml file to the pop3.domain.com server. Proxy the POP3 TCP Socket connection with a with a Socket server. Apollo will support direct TCP Socket connections to a domain.   Ted Patrick Flex Evangelist Adobe Systems Incorporated       From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Rogerio Gonzalez Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 9:57 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] POP3 by Socket   Thanks Ted, There is anyu workaround for this? See my problem: The hosting services here in Brazil do not provide access to the subdomain files. That means, I have access only to the main root of the domain.

For my SWF file to talk to pop3.domain.com, pop3.domain.com must permit me to access it. The server controls who can talk to it. The crossdomain.xml file states this policy.   The crossdomain.xml file can also be located on any URL if your SWF files uses system.Security.loadPolicyFile(url) method.   Ted Patrick Flex Evangelist Adobe Systems Incorporated       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com] On Behalf Of Rogerio Gonzalez Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2006 2:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] POP3 by Socket   Hi Folks, I have one doubt yet: When the pop3 server is pop3.domain.com and I have only acess to the www.domain.com or domain.com. That means: I will have http://www.domain.com/crossdomain.xml It will work when I try to connect to pop3.domain.com ? Meaning, again, subdomains are valid for the crossdomain on the "root" domain?

Also, by using loadPolicyFile() the file does not even need to be named crossdomain.xml :) Dirk.     __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Software development tool Software development Software development services Home design software Software development company YAHOO!
