Well yeah that's what I conclude. I could see in gdb that the video element is created from Javascript. I also tested with Chromium, no <video> element is created, likely because of the checks in that js script.

I could be wrong but I didn't see any place in WebKit code where we replace an <object> with a <video> element.

> I still don't understand why a User-agent matching *QuickTime* (as opposed to one matching the Safari version) would make a difference to the website, if you were using a <video> tag.

That confused me too. I think we never correctly sent the "Quicktime" UA. I don't see how it could work in the current call order, there was no change in the frameloader changing the behavior.

You currently only see a gray rectangle because our player get a 302 error from apple webserver, because we don't send the correct user-agent (I checked with wireshark).
