Restricting Files

[thomson]

Hi all,
i do have .wmv extension movie file in my folder, This is
called in an aspx file, and it plays well,

The problem is when i give a direct url like
http://localhost/App/Movie.wmv, it actually plays the movie file in the
Windows Media Player. This should not happen.

So i created a Handler in the Web.config file to restrict all the files
of wmv extension, It worked fine.

so when i give this file http://localhost/App/Movie.wmv , it says this
type is not served.

But in my aspx page also it not plays--How do i do it

I want this to be played in the aspx page , bot not directly giving the
path.

Any insights


Thanks in Advance

Did you call put something like <object >Movie.wmv </object> or <embed>
within the HTML code, so the clientside was doing request to the server
or did you using "binary streaming"? if you did the first method, and
it didn't play then asp.net is working probably ?_? because that is a
GET command issue from client side and it will go through your handler.
