||unity-dev|| testing Unity's policy file server

a quick note for those troubleshooting unity's policy file server.

To test whether the Policy File Server is running properly on the 
intended port, use a terminal to telnet to the port, then send the 
string "<policy-file-request/>" followed by a null byte (ASCII 0). On 
Windows, the free software RealTerm (http://realterm.sourceforge.net) 
can be used to connect and send the required message.

Steps for testing with RealTerm:
1) on the Display tab, check "Half Duplex"
2) on the Port tab, in the port pulldown, enter your domain and port in 
the following format:

yourdomain.com:nnn

(where nnn is your port)
3) Click "Open"
4) on the Send tab, in the first pulldown menu to the left of "Send 
Numbers", enter <policy-file-request/>
5) click Send ASCII
6) click the "0" button

if the policy file server is working properly, you should see the 
contents of your policy.xml file appear in the terminal window.
