Hi,
I'm a developer at TokBox.com and we have been using Slideshare for
quite a while now to bring slides into our Flex application. Recently
we noticed it stopped working and discovered that it's because of a
security error. It seems that the crossdomain.xml file has changed on
cdn.slideshare.net. It now only allows connections from
slideshare.com
whereas before it used to allow from anyone. ie. it used to be:
<?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>
whereas now it is:
<?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="*.
slideshare.com"/>
<allow-access-from domain="*.
slideshare.net"/>
<allow-access-from domain="*.
slidesharecdn.com"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
I was wondering whether this was intentional? If so we can find a
workaround but ideally we wouldn't have to do a push to get this
fixed.
Thanks,
Adam
