Question

I have given up on trying to get the source of a webpage (I don’t own this server) in AS3. All it does is throw an sandbox violation error (2048). So far I have come to a conclusion that the only solutions possible are:

• Make my web server serve the content to the swf.
• Make a proxy server for the swf with crossdomain.xml.

Somehow, both the options are being rejected by my seniors & I am being pushed for a better solution.

I don’t have any idea if anything else is possible, does anyone here have one??

EDIT :
Maybe some hack where ‘A’ may not need the policy file to communicate directly with ‘B’ :

I think a simple PHP proxy is the easiest way:

<?php
  echo system ("curl \"".$_GET["url"]."\"");
?>

And call it with

http://www.yourserver.com/pathtoyourscript/proxy.php?url=http://www.yoururl.com

not tested, but in general it should work.
