First off, apologies for the geek speek to follow...
When I request info on the first URL, I get this:
http://www.archive.org/download/How_to_create_a_screen_capture_on_a_PC/02screencappc.mov
HTTP/1.1 302 Found
Location:
http://ia300024.us.archive.org/2/items/How_to_create_a_screen_capture_on_a_PC/02screencappc.mov
The archive.org server says it found the resource, and then tells the
client (Firefox, FireANT, etc) where to find it.
http://ia300024.us.archive.org/2/items/How_to_create_a_screen_capture_on_a_PC/02screencappc.mov
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Length: 9287709
Content-Type: video/quicktime
The archive.org servers says 'here is the video' and serves it up.
Now, clients can handle the '302 Found' and get redirected to the actual
video.
Here's my problem: I wrote my own code to do the first part, intercept
the request, and then send the client the URL of the actual video.
Will it work if I still use my code to send a 302 Found, which sends it
a URL that issues another 302 Found, and the sends the client the actual
URL of the video?
