Description
Before establishing a WebSocket connection, flash requires the server to respond to an <policy-file-request /> XML request where the server responds with a <cross-domain-policy> XML to allow use of the WebSockets. Flash starts by sending its request on port 843 and then on the same port as the WebSocket.
On Linux, creating a Sockets server on port 843 requires ROOT permissions to run the server.
Currently, QWebSocketServer does not respond to the XML query for flash.
