I am trying to set the MIME type for Flash’s cross domain file in web.config. Since this file has an extension of .XML the following command will edit the MIME type of all XML documents in my site (not wanted) <system.webServer> <staticContent> <mimeMap fileExtension=”xml” mimeType=”text/x-cross-domain-policy”/> </staticContent> </system.webServer> How do I make this only affect the one file, crossdomain.xml Asked by makerofthings7 In the web.config file at that location, something like: <location path=”crossdomain.xml”> <system.webServer> <staticContent> <clear [...]

I have configured nginx to act as a reverse SSL proxy for a backend of Tomcat instances serving an in-house Flex application. The aim is to get an active/back pair. The configuration looks like: |—– serverb:8080 (10.0.0.1:8080) (http) servera:443 (ssl) ——| |—– serverc:8080 (10.0.0.2:8080) (http) (backup) This configuation seems to work well for static html (I can see a “check.txt” textfile on the webroot of serverb, and when I kill that tomcat instances, I can [...]

We have a Cisco MeetingPlace Express conference server, version 1.1. Logging in and scheduling meetings works, but Internet Explorer times out joining a meeting.

Is it possible to embed anything other than hyperlinks and pictures in a Sharepoint Wiki? I was trying to insert a client-side .swf flash video, but I am having some trouble, since it seems that <object> tags are being removed. If I can’t embed .swf files, are there video file types I can embed (such as Windows media types) in a wiki? I believe we are using an older Sharepoint interface (Windows SharePoint Services 3.0), [...]

I have several users on a small network. We all like to share YouTube, Hulu, and other Flash-based weblinks amongst ourselves. However, redownloading all that content seems inefficient. I started with the Squid sample configuration for YouTube (http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/DynamicContent/YouTube), but it either the Flash player is opening its own pipe outbound, or the proxy configuration is wrong – which seems to negate the benefit of the caching. Is there a way to force the Flash player [...]

I have a FLV file intended to be played with JW Players, however it won’t play. I have windows server 2008, in IIS under the website I have .flv in MIME Types. Extension: .flv MIME Type: flv-application/octet-stream But on the browser, FLV doesn’t play, the player is displayed though so no problem with my flash player. In my other server (windows server 2003), it plays. Can someone help? THanks Make sure the MIME type is [...]

I have been developing a flex application and noticing that my Glassfish server seems to be using more and more memory each time I tested the application. Specifically, it seems that to take more memory each time it runs .java files that query from SQL database (just select). Even though, it’s basically the same operation it seems that after I test my application for 30+ times it stopped responding and I have to restart the [...]

I can do this just fine under Apache with htaccess / permissions. But at work its all M$ all the time… I need to lock off access to any .fla files that might come up. We keep them next to the few .swf we use on some of our sites, I just want to be sure they are not being served. Thanks! EDIT I should point out that I didn’t think I needed to mention [...]

My current web host doesn’t allow socket servers. Can anyone tell me some cheap webhost servers that comes with smartfox server for flash? Thanks. I’m a shared hosting provider that will let you run socket servers and PHP. Users are prevented from “screwing up everyone else” by using authbind and iptables.

I’ve been mucking around with Flash Builder (beta 2) and trying to get some PHP services hooked up. It’s dead simple through FB assuming no hiccups. But I’ve been hiccupping for days now. I’m running the latest WAMP install with only one modification mentioned below (fresh install) on WinXPSP2. TO sum up, I have a very simple DB table set up, primary key + 4 other fields. I have a sample PHP service set up [...]
