Hi,

I have a rails-system running on swiftiply with 10 mongrels and  
serving the static data on apache.  
The swiftiply url is something like “[www.example.net](http://www.example.net)”, the asset host  
is “[static.example.net](http://static.example.net)”.

In most cases it runs fine, but some parts cause crossdomain errors.

One is a redirect in an ajax-call. On FF2 it does no redirection and  
tells me that its not allowed. If i change swiftiply-url to  
“[example.net](http://example.net)” it works.

The other problem appeares with TinyMCE. It works in FF3, but in IE6,7  
and FF2 it not initializes the editor.  
So i have to serve TinyMCE with swiftiply/mongrel and this is not so  
fast.

So my question is if someone knows about these errors and a  
workaround.  
It would be nice if you can help.  
Thanks,  
marcw
