Subject: Running realplayer files with a cgi script - HELP!


I would like the real player files (.rm) to be in the cgi-bin directory =
on my website.
The main reason for this is because I do not want users to be able to =
download the .rm files.
If it is not possible to store these files here then do you any =
suggestion to how to stop users from downloading these files.

I would like to call the HTML page, which embeds the .rm movie file into =
it, through a perl-script.
I have already tried this but a problem occurs - the problem is not my =
script - I think it is a path problem. File permissions have been set.

So to sum up I have .rm files, .rpm and the .html file that embed them, =
in a subdirectory of the cgi-bin directory.
The HTML file is read in and output by the cgi-script when a button is =
pressed.

I have set this up published the webpage to the server and checked the =
paths that get changed when uploaded - OK.
But when the HTML page is appears it then says connecting (in green) and =
then throws a general error.

Can anybody please help me to fix this problem ar suggest an alternative =
solution.
The HTML page needs to be called by a script and the files must not be =
allowed to be downloaded.

Regards,

David Usher
