Hi folks,
I've just bumped into the following problem: FP loads the SWF which
tries to make the connection on the same server the file was loaded
from and port 843.
If there is a server running everything is fine.
If server is down Flash Player attempts to connect on the 843 port,
attempt fails as nothing is listening on this port. So far so good.
Now I'd like to perform another attempt after the timeout.
And it looks like FP does not event try to make a connection (as far
as I can see it in Wireshark) - it simply writes in the policy.log
that connection on port 843 in not allowed.
I used the following code:
socket = new XMLSocket();
socket.connect(host, 843);
then I tried to add the address in the constructor
XMLSocket(host, 843)
Then I tried to call Security.loadPolicy("xmlsocket://host:843")
The result is the same - no network activity and note in the
policy.log appears that connection to host:843 is not allowed.
Is it a bug in FP that it can't be recovered from this this problem or
is it an expected behaviour?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Cheers,
Dmitri.
