Ben Gidley commented on TAP5-750: --------------------------------- A project that demostrates this will (hopefully) shortly be uploaded to tapestry.formos.com - as it includes a swf loader with a test case. > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
