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.

> 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.
