Flash Player 9 and Referrers
I do load-balancing on one of my sites by delivering content from different servers based on the referring URL. I have a media player that uses Flash to deliver content, and if the player is embedded on an external site, such as MySpace, the content comes from a different server. This worked fine in Flash 8, but in Flash 9, the content still comes from my original server. The reason behind it seems to be that Flash 9 reports its referrers differently. I use a BASE attribute to set the players base URL to my main server, so Flash 9 reports that as the referrer. Has anyone else run into this behavior? Is this something to do with the new Flash 9 security model?
