For everyone who still thinks Internet Explorer is a really good browser , think
again , I've just discovered an IE bug while testing Password Protection. Setup
a User Access for a Movie file in Abyss Web Server , get to a 401 Error page
and than put in the correct password , look whats on your screen. lol.
Firefox does not do this but I wanted to share this with those who still like
the IE browser. Also ::File Limit:: v2 is best viewed in Firefox browsers. :-)
Here's some screenshots , do this in order. lol

Perhaps a screenshot could be posted to show what you mean?

There is 3 of them at the above address and Punk thats not completely IE. Microsoft and other companies dont like to cooperate with eachother if you what I mean =) and they tend to use different codecs as you know.
Microsoft does not support your files codec and so did not pick it up. Although you can still the file like any other, but IE oviously needs some updating. |

Actually you will probably find it didnt play the file either because the MIME-TYPE was incorrect or there was just no program on the computer configured to open that particular file extension.

Like I said above, it might be the wrong MIME-TYPE set so it is displaying it as text not a video.

Actually , if you don't password protect the Movie file , it will play in the
browser using Quicktime so I think it is an Internet Explorer bug. LateR!

If it would normally play with Quicktime in your browser, it is a Quicktime bug.
Firefox does the same for me on direct links to WMV files unless I remember to right click, save as. I think it's some kind of MIME type problem with the plugin not realising it should be playing after it's stolen control from the browser...
