# crossdomain.xml

A cross-domain policy file is an XML document that grants a web client—such as
Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Reader, etc., permission to handle data across
multiple domains. When a client hosts content from a particular source domain
and that content makes requests directed towards a domain other than its own,
the remote domain would need to host a cross-domain policy file that grants
access to the source domain, allowing the client to continue with the
transaction. Policy files grant read access to data, permit a client to include
custom headers in cross-domain requests, and are also used with sockets to
grant permissions for socket-based connections.

specification](http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html)

Adobe have changed the location of the PDF. There is no gaurantee that
it will remain at the new location either. Since we already link to an
Adobe article about the cross-domain policy spec (that links to a PDF)
we don't need to link to both.
