I'm at a loss. I can't figure out why Flash is not loading my policy file properly. I'm testing this from the Flash Debugger.
I've also tried from http://127.0.0.1:80/game (it sends a request to http://127.0.0.1:3014/socket.io/1/).
Security.loadPolicyFile('xmlsocket://127.0.0.1:843'); var r:URLRequest = new URLRequest(); r.url = httpProtocal+"://" + domain + "/socket.io/1/?time=" + new Date().getTime(); r.method = URLRequestMethod.POST; var ul:URLLoader = new URLLoader(r); ul.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onDiscover); ul.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, onDiscoverError); ul.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR , onDiscoverError);
The error:
> webSocketLog: policy file: xmlsocket://127.0.0.1:843 Error #2044:
> Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox
> violation: file:///ude/game/bin-release/Game.swf cannot load data from
> http://127.0.0.1:3014/socket.io/1/?time=1359025067289. at

Yet this works:
> echo -ne '<policy-file-request/>\0' | nc -v 127.0.0.1 843
Connection to 127.0.0.1 843 port [tcp/*] succeeded!
<?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='*' to-ports='*' />
</cross-domain-policy>
Specifying the absolute path to the crossdomain.xml doesn't work either. I can load this file in my browser.

Not even this works (solution from a very popular blog post):
import flash.system.Security;
Security.allowDomain("http://127.0.0.1");
Here's the debugger policy file log:

The interesting part here is that the OK: Policy file accepted
message comes AFTER the errors, even though I'm calling:
Security.loadPolicyFile('http://127.0.0.1:843/crossdomain.xml');
before the URLRequest
. So I moved the URLRequest
into a setTimeout, and now the log says:

So, it seems to have loaded the 843 policy file fine, but then tries to load the port 3014 policy file (maybe checking for a sub-policy file?). Which is just a socket.io HTML page saying 'Welcome to socket.io'. It doesn't seem like it should fail for that reason..
I get this in the debugger alert:
Error #2044: Unhandled securityError:. text=Error #2048: Security sandbox violation: file:///ude/game/bin-release/Game.swf cannot load data from http://127.0.0.1:3014/socket.io/1/?time=1359028255268.

Any ideas much appreciated. Thank you!
