Cross domain issue

Unity Engine
1

Hey people, I hope that someone can guide me a bit

The thing is that I’ve developed an IRC client in unity, that is to be used for some in-game chat. For testing purposes I’ve installed an IRCd server on my stationary computer and hosted a IRC server that way…
I would like to be able to connect to this server with my unity application as a webplayer build… This is only possible if it gets the crossdomain.xml policy file.

Unfortunately I am quite unaware in relation to how this can be achieved with my current setup… If someone could help it would be great!

EDIT: I might add that I am running ubuntu 10.10 and the server is set up using inspIRCd… Don’t know if the information is needed…

you will need to run a policy server on the ubuntu box that grants access to the webplayer.

Thanks for the input…

I figured that something like that might be the solution. Do you know any good guides?
I’ve been trying to find an example, but seemingly I could only find flash related stuff… I don’t know it it’s similar, but if you know about a good guide/tutorial it would be very nice.

There isn’t much guide to it, run the policyserver with the right policyfile, you can find an example on the security sandbox page in the documentation.
