[AS2] XML Policy File Woes

[m_andrews808]

sooo.... I'm trying to connect to my xml socket server over port 1701. Testing locally works fine but when I test from my domain it connects very briefly only to disconnect.

So after some reading around I found out about the security changes to FP 9.0.xx which require a seperate policy file for XML socket connectionss over port 843.

I'm now running on my server a simple perl socket server on port 843, it listens only for the policy file request <policy-file-request/> and on receiving returns the following xml over the socket:

<cross-domain-policy>
      <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies='master-only'/>
      <allow-access-from domain='*' to-ports='*' />
</cross-domain-policy> 

when I test this I can see the my app connecting over port 843 and I see the server recive the policy file request. However when I subsequently connect to my main socket, it disconnects immediately exactly as it did without the policy file.

As I say I can see the policy file being requested, though I can't see if it's successfully received by flash, I've no idea where to go from here?

TIA
