Re: [webkit-dev] Not able to play flash with windows webkit
Hi All, After little more investigation I found that the issue is with the mimetype not with the flash plugin. When the NP flash plugini.e., npswf.dll is installed, webkit is loading the dll and playing the flash with if the mimetype is changed to "application/x-shockwave-flash". This is valid mime-type for *.swf content. But in the testcase attached for the bugid: 21649, mimetype is "application/octet-stream". And firefox is able to play even if the mimetype is "application/octet-stream". So I wanted to know if this is a valid bug on webkit or its a content issue(invalid HTML content). Can some please suggest us if we can raise a bug on webkit? Btw, this is apart of debugging the bug: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21649 Regards, Swapna

Hi all,
I had windows webkit(with safari 5.1 setup)in my system. While I am trying to load flash with following html code, it is showing text as "Missing Plug-in".
<html><body> <embed STYLE="WIDTH: 380px; HEIGHT: 300px" ALIGN="right" SRC="s80-m.swf" WIDTH="380" HEIGHT="300" TYPE="application/octet-stream" ALLOWSCRIPTACCESS="samedomain" WMODE="transparent" QUALITY="high"> </embed> </html></body>
It is working in FF & IE. Can any one please help me.
Sounds like a bug. Can you please file a bug report at < http://webkit.org/new-bug>?
Thanks, Andy

It sounds worth filing a bug and mentioning the difference from Firefox. It would also be good to test other browsers. -Adam
