realtime gauges and different domain names
Hi. My site is accessible both using http://www.site.com and just site.com. However, for realtime gauges the data file url is hard coded into preferences, and it is absolute path. So if the preferences file is configured for site.com, someone who came to http://www.site.com/weather/realtime.htm sees only the "loading" window, the data is never loaded.

Re: realtime gauges and different domain names
This is because of Silverlight's network access security restrictions, which don't allow cross-domain access by default.
You can override the security check, as I have done on sanday.org.uk, by placing a file called clientaccesspolicy.xml in the root of your web space, containing the following:
The above example allows access from everywhere. Instead of the <domain uri="*"/> line, you can if you wish restrict access just to specific domains, e.g:
You could also, if you wish, change the resource path to restrict access just to the appropriate parts of your web site.

Re: realtime gauges and different domain names
Thanks, Steve! This worked like a charm. Also, helped to get rid of "file not found" errors in apache's access.log.

Re: realtime gauges and different domain names
Hello Steve,
at first thank you and congratulation for your great piece of software such Cumulus is!
I'm very new to the weather world, and with your software I just found what I was looking for, that is, the way to upload my friend's weather station data to the internet!
Cumulus is working fine on the computer, it keeps on sending the weather data to the website properlky, as you can see it here:
http://meteo.lasotta.inossola.it/index.htm
But I'm having the same problem with Cumulus Realtime: the page gets stuck at loading...
I've read your faq at http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/CumulusRealtime, and then this post, but I'm still having the same problem.
Here are the web station details, and apparently everything seems to be allright:
http://meteo.lasotta.inossola.it/realtime.txt
http://meteo.lasotta.inossola.it/CumulusRealtime.xml
http://meteo.lasotta.inossola.it/clientaccesspolicy.xml
Do you have any suggestion on what could be the issue and how to solve it?
Thank you and see you soon!

You have to supply a URL for the realtime.txt file, i.e.
<realtimeURL>http://meteo.lasotta.inossola.it/realti ... ealtimeURL>

Re: realtime gauges and different domain names
Hello Steve,
great help from you, now the realtime page is working!!
Actually, in the beginning I had already written the full URL as suggested, but it wasn't working as well...
But now, as I've restored that string again, it is magically working!
Fine, now I'm trying to figure it out why the Twitter posting is not working. I'll do some more tests and checks, and in case of need I'll make a new post for it...
Thank you so much!
