129058 - Flash doesn't work from server, works from local file

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 116562

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[bvr]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    2002020406

Installed Shockwave Flash 5.0 r41 plugin with installer.

Loading any flash (tried macromedia.com and Mozilla flash plugin tests) doesn't
work, flash file doesn't even get transferred but statusbar does show 'Starting
plugin for type ..'

Also tried an SWF file on a fast local server, same results. However, dropping
the same SWF on a Mozilla browser window loads and runs the Flash as expected.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. re-installed Mozilla & flash plugin
2. load .swf using file:// scheme
3. load .swf from server using http:// scheme


Actual Results:  Flash movie works great from file: location.
Status bar indicates plugin start but nothing else happens (no transfer) when
loading it from http: location.
