Hi! I am having the same problem and had posted my question earlier.
I have installed 2 media files 1 is .wmv and the other is .rmvb, both of the files open as text in the browser for some starnge reason. Ppl told me to set the correct mime in web.xml, but I am just a basic user, I did not understand what to do. Can u please tell me how u set the correct mimie in web.xml? Thank u ----- Original Message ---- From: Zachary Wiener <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: users@tomcat.apache.org Sent: Friday, November 3, 2006 8:23:30 AM Subject: Request for WMV file to machine name doesn't work Hello. I have Tomcat 5.0.28 installed on my Windows XP machine. Under webapps I have a website installed, and under the website I have a *.wmv file installed. If I access this file through Internet Explorer as http://<machine_name>:8080/mysite/test.wmv, the file does not open in media player, but displays as text. I have made sure that the web.xml has the mime type defined. If I access the file as http://localhost:8080/mysite/test.wmv, the file will be played in media file. If I access the file from a different machine and access as http://<machine_name>:8080/mysite/test.wmv, the file will be played in media player. My question is, if I am logged into my machine and I access the file using the machine name, why is it displayed as text, but localhost works? Thank you.
