   em-websocket doesn't listen on port 843 (nor should it)

   Flash will try connecting on port 843. If it doesn't get a response it will try requesting the flash policy file on the WebSocket port (which em-websocket will respond to)

   If you want to serve the flash policy file on port 843 you can use something super simple like this, possibly in the same process as em-websocket:

   require 'eventmachine'
   
   module FlashPolicy
     def post_init
       cross_domain_xml =<<-EOF
       <cross-domain-policy>
          <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" />
       </cross-domain-policy>  
       EOF
   
       send_data cross_domain_xml
       close_connection_after_writing
     end
   end
   
   EM.run {
     EventMachine::start_server '0.0.0.0', 843, FlashPolicy
   }
