@xVisage — Thanks very much for posting your fix! The server I was working with was ASP so it’s great to have the PHP solution.

fix @ the above comment:

loadPolicyFile(”http://”+host+”:”+port+”/crossdomain.php”) where that php file returns the actual crossdomain with modified content-type as follows:
header(’Content-Type: application/xml’);
readfile(’crossdomain.xml’);

I ran into the same problem with missing Content-Type, I tried to change that for crossdomain using htaccess as follows:

ForceType application/xml

with no luck, I even used loadPolicyFile(”http://”+host+”:”+port+”/crossdomain.php”) where that php file returns the actual crossdomain with modified content-type as follows:

after all, I’m still having the same error in policyfiles.txt:
Error: [strict] Ignoring policy file at http://host:port/crossdomain.php due to missing Content-Type.

can you please help and tell me how did you changed the crossdomain’s content-type ?

your article is extremely helpful anyways ..
