socket.io flashsocket not working

Question

The Websocket or XHR transport works just fine.

But not the Flashsocket.

The console shows this:

   debug - setting request GET /socket.io/1/flashsocket/kavSuw7LSfrHmQBM1C8D
   debug - set heartbeat interval for client kavSuw7LSfrHmQBM1C8D
   debug - client authorized for
   debug - client authorized
   info  - handshake authorized UPai64qwBoTlGL2X1C8E

then nothing more... I set the program to emit msg every second, nothing sent.

Then I use chrome to access http://domain.com:10843/, it shows this:

<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*"/>
</cross-domain-policy>

I think it is not blocked... So what's wrong here?

PS. Server is Windows Server 2008

Try testing on IE8 or 9. It has been noted that flashsocket will not work on Chrome even if it is the only transport listed. Use ["websocket","flashsocket"] for best results, and if you get a websocket when you weren't expecting one, consider it a happy surprise :-).
