Cross-domain Policy File Specification
A cross-domain policy file is an XML document that grants a web client such as Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, etc. permission to handle data across multiple domains. When a client hosts content from a particular source domain and that content makes requests directed towards a domain other than its own, the remote domain would need to host a cross-domain policy file that grants access to the source domain, allowing the client to continue with the transaction. Policy files grant read access to data, permit a client to include custom headers in cross-domain requests, and are also used with sockets to grant permissions for socket-based connections.
Sample Case 1…
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
here the allow-access-from element specifies that content from '*' means any requesting domain can access any data within the target domain
Sample Case 2….
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*.example.com"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
here the allow-access-from element specifies that content from the example.com requesting domain can access any data within the target domain
