Widget: please update crossdomain.xml
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 5:33 pm
Dear friends,
this message is addressed to webmasters who have added our widget with a custom landscape or PWS data.
In order to make the widget work properly you need to update your crossdomain.xml file on the server.
Basically you need to allow access from any domain.
You need to change domain property from "*.yowindow.com" to "*"
This is how crossdomain.xml should look.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cros ... policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" secure="true"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
We had to make this change because our server is overloaded with widget requests.
YoWindow widget has got very popular.
There are around 300,000 widget views per day.
You may have noticed recently that the widget was not available for some time.
This is because our server was heavily overloaded.
We had to take a decision to move the widget to a more reliable place.
The widget is not located on yowindow servers anymore.
Because of this you need to update crossdomain.xml to allow YoWindow widget to load the landscape or data from your site.
