Re: [twsocket] Webserver with local connections only
I think the easiest and safest way would be to set the listening IP to 127.0.0.1 .

Re: [twsocket] Webserver with local connections only
And also probably limiting the number of concurrent connections to what flash needs. And also examine the request header to make sure it comes from the flash application. Maybe you can craft some request from your application so that the server application knows it comes from your own application. All depends on the level of security you want. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] The author of the freeware multi-tier middleware MidWare The author of the freeware Internet Component Suite (ICS) http://www.overbyte.be - Original Message - From: Fastream Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ICS support mailing twsocket@elists.org Sent: Sunday, December 02, 2007 9:12 AM Subject: Re: [twsocket] Webserver with local connections only I think the easiest and safest way would be to set the listening IP to 127.0.0.1 .

Maybe you can craft some request from your application so that the server application knows it comes from your own application. The request header can be forged easily. Perhaps you should check the incoming connection IP address (on the OnSessionAvailable event) and reject it if it's not one of the acceptable set. dZ. -- DZ-Jay [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
