Howard M. Lewis Ship updated TAP5-750:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Tapestry should not attempt to GZip flash movies (.swf files)
(was: Swf files as assets don't play in firefox due to being gziped)
> Tapestry should not attempt to GZip flash movies (.swf files)
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> 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
> Assignee: Howard M. Lewis Ship
>
> 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.
