87074 - ActiveX control doesn't show up well.

Status: CLOSED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: ActiveX Wrapper, defect)

Description

[JongAm Park]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)
BuildID:    2001060703

No images from 4 cameras are not displayed

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit http://168.219.13.111/ with IE and Mozilla 0.9.1
2. With IE, you can see 4 images from 4 cameras, but with Mozilla, you can't. ( 
ID: guest1, Pass:guest1 )


Actual Results:  You can't watch 4 live videos.

Expected Results:  As with the IE, Mozilla should display the images, if the 
cameras are on.

The code for the 4 camera images is:
if ((navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer")&&(navigator.platform !
= "MacPPC")&&(navigator.platform != "Mac68k"))
  { 
    document.write("<OBJECT ID='WebCam1' WIDTH='352' ");
    document.write(" HEIGHT='240' CLASSID=CLSID:012F24D4-35B0-11D0-BF2D-
0000E8D0D146 ");
    document.write(" CODEBASE='/sns100.ocx#Version=1,0,1,4' >");
    document.write("<PARAM NAME=URL VALUE='/nph-cam1.cgi' >");
    document.write("<PARAM NAME=GotoURL VALUE='/camera1.htm' >");
//    document.write("<PARAM NAME=GotoURL VALUE='javascript:JumpToUrl
("camera1.htm")' >");
    document.write(" <BR><B>SNS100 ActiveX Camera Control</B><BR>");
    document.write("In order to install the SNS100 ActiveX Camera Control, 
which enables you to view live video");
    document.write(" in Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must temporarily lower 
your browser security settings to medium and allow for installation.<BR>"); 
    document.write("</OBJECT>"); 
  } 
  else 
  {
    document.write("<IMG name='WebCam1' SRC='nph-cam1.cgi' ");
    document.write(" HEIGHT='240' WIDTH='352' ");
    document.write(" align='center' border='0' alt='' >");
}

Mozilla fortunately doesn't and won't display ActiveX objects.

It's not an ActiveX issue and I do see the images. Or at least some of them
since others give assertions in the JPEG decoder:

JPEG decoding error:
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x0a 0xff

JPEG decoding error:
Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x94 0x95

Could it be your CGI script is feeding out bad data?

Tom,

Please leave your comments out of Bugzilla. For some of our customers, lack of 
ActiveX support is a serious flaw in the product.

Agreed that this isn't an ActiveX issue. Marking verified.

I'm sorry that I didn't check this bug.
The Mozilla invokes the cgi version, not ActiveX version.

"No JPEG image error" doesn't apply to this problem.
The sample script is for making the Navigator use CGI version not ActiveX version.
If it's possible to use ActiveX with Mozilla, it would be great.
