FLASH: Re: Mime and @home ISP

[Larry Eisenstein]

Hi John,


Thanks for the feedback. I finally got a tech supervisor on the phone and he says he views my site without problems. He says if he sends up a request to his bosses to change the mime type, they will look at my site internally and see everything working fine and it will be a no-go. Can you please outline some of the problems browsers outside my network will encounter when they view shockwave without the proper mime please so I can sound like I know what I am talking about. Also are there any good specific papers from MM that I can direct my ISP to. 


Thanks again,

Larry

Yes, if you select the swf file on the Page Info page and the file is in cache, and it reads anything except  application/x-shockwave-flash then the MIME is not set correctly for Flash.
