ASAP. Great feedback.
Anyone else?

Subject: RE: [flexcoders] POP3 by Socket
Ted, that is a handy site.
A suggestion: An issue that is not obvious
to those who are not web/network administratiors is: "Where do I put the
crossdomain.xml
file". While I bet this is discussed on more than one of the links
you provide, consider a quick paragraph on the subject, for additional
convenience.
The usual response: "In the root of the web
server" is not enough for non-experts. Include an example path for,
say the default integrated Flex 1.5 install, one for a default Tomcat install,
and one for a default IIS install.
I figured mine out by putting a full access
crossdomain file in every possible folder until my call worked, then
deleting them until I broke it again. This showed me the right
place. You see why I am not offering to provide the examples!
Tracy

Rogerio,
http://www.crossdomainxml.org

With Socket operations you will need to have a
crossdomain.xml file on
the server you are connecting to, in this case the POP server! This particular
crossdomain.xml file
needs to permit access to use low/high ports for inbound connections. It is
identical to the process needed to support XMLSocket servers.
The use of crossdomain policy files prevents
Flash/Flex clients from abusing other peoples servers. As permission is
delegated to the server owner, they can decide what ports Flash Player can
connect to.
Example:
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"
to-ports="507" />
<allow-access-from domain="*.foo.com" to-ports="507,516" />
<allow-access-from domain="*.bar.com" to-ports="516-523" />
<allow-access-from domain="www.foo.com" to-ports="507,516-523" />
<allow-access-from domain="www.bar.com" to-ports="*"
/>
</cross-domain-policy>
I put together this small site on crossdomain
policy files. It doesn't have any glits and gives you the bare bones knowledge
on using crossdomain.

Subject: [flexcoders] POP3 by Socket
Bom dia pessoal,
Hi folks,
I want to know if anyone of you try make the POP3
by Socket example,
from IFBIN(Flex by Example), work with final
version of Flex 2.
Now that he´s free, I try to test something but it
just don´t work.
Don´t give me any errors. Seems to be a security
issue, like
crossdomain, but I can´t figure out the real
problem.
Thanks
Rogerio Gonzalez
