Re: problem with WMP and firefox



Hello,
As our backend are different, I don't know if it can help you.
And in my case, I play mpg video files not wmv.
But, to play correctly my mpg file in WMP plugin, I have written this in my servlet's code:

response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
If I specify the content length like this: response.setContentLength((int)myFile.length());
It doesn't work! maybe this is your problem....

Hope it can help you.
Bye

Oh I guess my problem is slightly different then... should have read
the rest of your message! The cookies don't seem to be an issue,
because it definitely is downloading the WMV file. It just doesn't
*play* it. Like, maybe I'm missing something in the header? Here's
my headers, any ideas? (just checked, cookies are the same)
