Re: Fw: VLC web player does not work when using apache

Thanks Yehuda,

If the access was successful, then it means it got to the VLC player on browser side. So why doesn't the player show the file?

As I already wrote in my first Email, the player works fine from any path that is not http:localhost....

Tom.

I looked at the Apache access log file and it seems that Apache receives the request from the VLC player:

[25/Apr/2012:08:31:22 +0700] "GET /root/95180.avi HTTP/1.1" 200 1165938 "http://localhost/root/why.html" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0"

Can anyone please help me to understand what it means?

One piece at a time:

Time of request: [25/Apr/2012:08:31:22 +0700]

HTTP Request Method: GET

File Requested: /root/95180.avi

HTTP Version Number: HTTP/1.1

HTTP Return Status Code: 200 (Success)

Returned Content Size: 1165938 (in bytes)

Referring Page: http://localhost/root/why.html

Browser: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0"

This says that the request was completely successful.
