django-flashpolicies 1.3

This application enables simple Flash cross-domain policies (which are required for Flash content to access information across domains) for Django-powered sites. Cross-domain policies are represented by an XML file format, and this application generates and serves the appropriate XML.

In the simplest case, you’ll simply set up one URL pattern, pointing the URL /crossdomain.xml to the view flashpolicies.views.simple() and passing a list of domains from which you want to allow access. For example, to allow access from Flash content served from media.example.com, you could place the following in the root URLConf of your Django site:

url(r^'crossdomain.xml$',
    'flashpolicies.views.simple',
    {'domains': ['media.example.com']}),
