crossdomain.xml not working:

I have created a simple service and hosted it on my local IIS.
when i try to access it from another site i get 404 error.
ClientAccessPolicy.xml works great, but if i remove it an use only crossdomain.xml it doesn’t.
Why is that?

I have used you format of crossdomain.xml and the one posted at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645049(VS.95).aspx#cross_domain_policy

Excellent catch.. yes, that is a typo. It should be in the tag. I’ve updated this post.

In example 1 you have the http-request-headers=”Content-Type” in element - is this correct?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197955(VS.95).aspx shows it in the element. Typo - you are also self closing the element.

Great article! Thanks.
Minor bug: It should be “uri” in example 2 (”i” missing).
Question: Is there a way to explictly deny access to a subpath while giving access to a path.

I understand that challenges and appreciate the initial work done heere to get cross-domain requests up and running. However, in-message authentication is - by nature - a security risk. Until HTTPS and Basic/Digest is properly supported, it is much wiser to simply *not* expose private content via cross-domain requests.

This is great stuff! But why do people insist on posting sample code with line numbers at the left? If i want to copy the code, then I have to go and remove all the line numbers before I can use it!
