i installed the standalone python socket policy server from adobe on my linux server.

When i telnet to my server on port 843 the server reacts, and receives the connection.

when i execute:

```auto

Security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket://server.net:843");

```

in my application the server does not respond.

When i execute

```auto

Security.loadPolicyFile("http://www.server.net:843");

```

the server responds, it recieved the connection…

What am i missing? what am i doing wrong with Security.loadPolicyFile(“xmlsocket://server.net:843”);

is there another away around this… This is a flex socket program so a regular crossdomain.xml request wont work…

ty…
