Silverlight 5 clientaccesspolicy.xml

Silverlight 5 clientaccesspolicy.xml

I have a Silverlight 5 app that is making requests to a WCF data service over HTTPS on a separate domain (server) hosted via IIS 6 (at say mydomain.com/service.svc).

The silverlight app gets a SecurityException, which I assume is related to not finding a proper clientaccesspolicy.xml file. I have a clientaccesspolicy.xml file defined at mydomain.com's wwwroot folder that looks like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <access-policy>   <cross-domain-access>     <policy>       <allow-from http-request-headers="*">         <domain uri="*"/>       </allow-from>       <grant-to>         <resource path="/" include-subpaths="true"/>       </grant-to>     </policy>   </cross-domain-access> </access-policy> 

The weird part is that when looking at Fiddler traffic, there is never a request attempted for mydomain.com/clientaccesspolicy.xml.

The other thing is that the clientaccesspolicy.xml is served only over https (IIS setting on that server only allows ssl/tls connections), so could that be part of the problem?
