mime types and outputStreams..

Hi,

I have some mpegs and avi files in my database (MySQL) and am trying to make them downloadable in the browser...

The mime type (content type) I am using for them are video/mpeg and video/* ...

The relevant code for making them downloadable are:
response.setContentType(multimediaDataFields.getContent());
response.getOutputStream().write(multimediaDataFields.getData());

The above two lines work perfectly well for all kinds of documents,images,pdfs etc... except for videos...

Does any one hv a solution for my problem???

Thnx a bunch,
sgaucho

Do you mean "play videos in the browser" ?

yep.. but solved it... changed the mime type to video/x-ms-wmv and it works....

strange though.. video/mpeg is a recognized mime type..
