FOIA and WOW Update

So, today I’ll be mailing/filing my motion for a preliminary injunction against the government for intentionally delaying my receipt of the documents I requested. Which leads us to the WOW update.

So, one of the many problems with my NIT report is the long gaps between loading the html file (and the flash app) and the flash apps communication with another server via a socket connection.

Well, I found the answer. As the link verifies, those time gaps of 39 & 63 seconds are impossible with flash player 10 or later:

In Flash Player 10, ActionScript Socket and XMLSocket objects, all securityError events will be sent after a predefined amount of time has elapsed since the call to connect(). The predetermined timeout is 20 seconds by default but can be specified by ActionScript developers using the new Socket.timeout and XMLSocket.timeout APIs. If the timeout elapses and no connection has been established, the connection attempt will be aborted and a securityError dispatched.

Note: This change affects SWF files of all versions played in Flash Player 10 and later. This security change can potentially affect any SWF file that uses the Socket or XMLSocket classes. This change affects all non-app content in Adobe AIR (however, AIR app content itself is unaffected).

Adobe Link above (answer).
