Permissive window closing
Permissive window closing: A reminder that Adobe Flash Player will soon tighten down and require explicit permission from browsers and servers before communicating with them. More from Emmy and Justin last week, and last December Deneb laid out the rationale for these upcoming changes. If you make any socket request the server will need a policy file explicitly permitting it; if you create HTTP headers you'll need to explicitly allow it on the server. If you've got an old project which acted under permissive assumptions, then now is the time to make sure the servers and browsers agree to such communications... don't become a statistic, confirm your old sites now!
