Flash Cross Domain Policy Server: Library and application for starting a cross domain policy server for Flash.

Edward Blake

 (require (planet edwardlblake/rkt-flash-domain-policy:1:0))

1 Introduction

This is a simple implementation of a Flash cross-domain policy server written in Racket. It can also be invoked from the command line.

Policy servers are used by Flash to determine which ports can be connected to by a Flash-based client application.

2 How to use it

(run-flash-domain-policy-server aaf ...)
Where each aaf is a list of either 2 or 3 elements:
(list  from-domain to-ports)
(list  from-domain to-ports secure)
Optional keyword arguments:
#:notify-proc proc
Where proc is procedure with two arguments:
(lambda (a b)
  (printf "~s ~s" a b))
#:site-control ctrl
Where ctrl is one of:
'none
'master-only
'by-content-type
'by-ftp-filename
'all
#:http-reqs (list httpreqs ...)
Where each httpreqs is a list of either 2 or 3 elements:
(list  from-domain headers)
(list  from-domain headers secure)
#:identities (list certs ...)
Where each certs is a list of 2 elements:
(list  signature signature-algorithm)
Parameters for tcp-listen:
#:max-allow-wait number
#:hostname string
#:port port-number

3 Examples

Runs a server that allow access from any domain (*) to port 2000, with the "master-only" site control:
(run-flash-domain-policy-server
  #:site-control 'master-only
  #:notify-proc (lambda (a b) (printf "~s ~s" a b))
  '("*" 2000))
Runs a server that allow access from *.example.com to three different ports:
(run-flash-domain-policy-server '("*.example.com" (123 234 345)))
Runs a server with everything:
(run-flash-domain-policy-server
 #:notify-proc (lambda (a b)
                 (printf "~a~n" b))
 #:site-control 'master-only
 #:http-reqs (list '("*" "Jack" #t))
 #:identities (list '("ABC" "DEF"))
 '("*" 2000 #t)
 '("*.example.com" (123 455 200) #t))
