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

fwiw, I took an old copy of Unity1 and simply modified the room dispatcher
to wait for the policy request, and then to send out the policy from a file
system file. ..this is working for me and a few clients right now without
issue.. the downside is that it's a second "application" to manage, and uses
up more resources than should be necessary.. but it works.. no restart of
the primary service or changes otherwise

this could be done by any simple server created with any language running
along side U2 -- in java, vb or whatever.. it literally just has to accept
connections on port 843 (or whatever you want), and wait for the request,
and then send out the policy data and terminate the connection. In my case,
843 worked easily enough with no code changes anywhere else whatsoever.

stupid adobe.
