Flash cannot interact with Swift API

[Donagh McCabe]

Client-side technologies such as Flash, Java and Silverlight running on web pages served elsewhere cannot interact with the Swift API. The solution is to support a /crossdomain.xml file/path. Other object stores already do this (e.g., see http://s3.amazonaws.com/crossdomain.xml)

Note: CORS has similar functionality, but it’s HTML5 and hence won’t be usable by older browsers.
