I'm perplexed by the following. My wife made a movie (WMV suffix) with Windows MovieMaker. She posted it on a machine running Novell's Novonix web server. If I typed the file's URL into a browser window, it just displayed a full page of non-ASCII junk. This was true from both XP Explorer and Etch Iceweasel (with mozilla-mplayer).
So I copied the same WMV file to an Etch machine running an apache2 web server. When I typed the file's URL into a browser window, the movie played from Explorer and from Iceweasel. Can someone here explain why the choice of web server determines whether the movie plays or not? I would have thought that the web server would just copy the WMV file to the browser, which would then decide whether to play it or display it as text. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
