I have a Silverlight application that does two things:
1) connects to a WCF server (hosted inside a WPF app on a different PC) and sends small packets of info (using PollingDuplexHttpBinding if it matters)
2) sends a web request for get an XML file from a different remote server for parsing
At dev time, its all running locally, but in production it will be a scattered deployment each running on a different server.
But I am running into issues that I think are related to the clientaccesspolicy.xml and crossdomain.xml files
My Silverlight app runs at a random port (as defined by VS2010)
The WCF service runs at: http://localhost:80/MyService which I can connect to just fine from the SL client (I have got a clientaccesspolicy.xml file on the WCF side)
But, and here is the part that is failing, when I send a request for the XML file, which is http://localhost/MY_TEST_SITE/thefile.xml I get the error:
The remote server returned an error: NotFound.
but I put that address into Firefox I can see the XML file no problem. I do have a clientaccesspolicy.xml in that location, which I think is correct.
If it was a cross-domain issue should I be getting a security exception here? instead of a not found exception?
How can I debug this?
