“Connection rejected: You did not connect comming from a licensed domain” caused by latest Flash Player update (11.1.102.62)

Just a few days ago I was alarmed on the forum that many users of AVChat started getting the error in the title out of the blue without the chat webmasters doing anything.

After a quick investigation we had found the culprit.

It seems Adobe has modified something in their latest Flash Player Update (11.1.102.62).

August 2012 update: it seems the issue also shows up in FP 10.3.183.20 released on 06 August 2012. teh patches at the bottom do not fx the issue for FP 10.3.183.20 .

They modified the contents of the pageUrl variable sent by Flash Player when it connects to a media server like FMS, Red5 or Wowza.

In FP 11.1.102.55 (released on November 7th, 2011) pageUrl looked like this: http://avchat.net/demos/avchat30/
In FP 11.1.102.62 (released on February 15th, 2012, the one thats causing the issue) pageUrl is truncated and looks like this: http://avchat.net

Strangely enough this modification/problem exists only in Firefox ( on both PC and MAC).

This shorter pageUrl flips our domain checking mechanism resulting in end users getting the error in the title when trying to connect.

To fix the issue we have compiled some new media server files (Red5, FMIS, Wowza) for the latest build of AVChat, 1418 and attached them to this blog post together with patching instructions.

We will compile such patches for both older versions of AVChat and other software like our HDFVR video recorder .

FLVAR for Red5 and FMIS, SimplChat and AVConference do not need patching.
