Swf files as assets don't play in firefox due to being gziped
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TAP5-750
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-750
Project: Tapestry 5
Issue Type: Bug
Components: tapestry-core
Affects Versions: 5.1.0.5
Reporter: Ben Gidley
If you put a swf file as an asset on a page and then try and play that swf it
won't play in firefox (other browsers IE, Opera, Safari are ok).
The precise symptoms are
* The SWF looks like it loads - but you just get the background colour and the
main movie doesn't play
* If you right click on it you will get the flashright click menu
* If you right click and choose play it does play
If you move the movie to an near identical path (e.g. bsset/xxxxx/xxx.swf) it
will play fine.
Looking in wireshark the only difference is tapestry GZIP's the swf served as
an asset this then stops firefox playing the movie.
If you turn GZIP off in tapestry the SWF plays again.
Ideally tapestry should let you turn gzip on/off by mime type as well as
globally. This would let you enable it for HTML, JS but not for binary objects
where it is just a waste of CPU time.
