Order

This tag specifies the order for evaluating the Allow and Deny tags.

Description

This tag specifies whether Flash Media Server evaluates the Allow or Deny tag first, and the syntax it uses when evaluating these tags.

• The default sequence is <Order>Allow,Deny</Order>.
• If both the Allow and Deny tags are left unspecified, Flash Media Server processes all requests.
• The <Order>Allow,Deny</Order> sequence specifies that Flash Media Server will process the automatic proxy discovery message if the client does match something listed in the Allow tag and does not match anything in the Deny tag.
• The <Order>Deny,Allow</Order> sequence specifies that the automatic proxy discovery message will be processed if the client does not match anything listed in the Deny tag, or does match something in the Allow tag.

Examples

<Allow>foo.macromedia.com,10.41.1.55</Allow>
<Deny>all</Deny>
<Order>Deny,Allow</Order>

This example instructs Flash Media Server not to process any requests except for those from the computer named foo.macromedia.com and the computer with the IP address 10.41.1.55:

<Allow>all</Allow>
<Deny>10.41</Deny>
<Order>Allow,Deny</Order>

This example specifies that server will accept and process all requests except those coming from computers that match the IP address 10.41.x.x:
