Hi,

I have worked my way to Chapter 7 with little issues till now. I am getting a flXHR security exception when I try to login to my XMPP account with Dig.

- The code is from the download and is unchanged.
- I have tried two different accounts and both give me the same error.
- My accounts are at chatmask.com and programmer-art.org.

Any idea what the problem might be?

(I am enjoying the book, BTW).

I'm glad you're enjoying the book!

A first thing to try would be to check that the latest version of the code has the same problem. You can find it at http://github.com/metajack/profxmpp.

The next thing to check is what is the BOSH service URL you are using? Is it http://bosh.metajack.im:5280/xmpp-httpbind? Or is it something else?

Next, remember that flXHR-using code must be run from an http:// URL. It won't work if you run it file file:// URLs due to Flash security policy.

It sounds like a browser or flash security policy violation.

I tried your latest code - same problem.

Some more info. I am running Windows 7/IE8 and have the same problem with Firefox. With Firefox, the status says "Connecting to localhost..." and never gets any further.

I am using your BOSH service as you point to it - unchanged.

I am using IIS as my webserver. However, I have the XMPP test site over at port 8080 as my mainline development is on 80. This has not been a problem till chapter 7.

Thanks,
Grant

And the test setup on 8080 is the same that you used for all the previous chapters?

A flxhr exception should only happen if you use a file:// URL or you use a BOSH connection manager which is not serving crossdomain.xml.

What version of IE is this?
