Re: FLASH: Flash/netscape problem HELP!

[John Croteau]

Hi Paul,


> http://www.deschrijver.nl


The MIME is OK at the above site.



> http://www.abcpromotion.nl


The MIME in the  second site reads  application/octet-stream

which is incorrect for Flash.

Nope, the MIME is not set correctly.

Sometimes a server requires restarting before the MIME takes effect even in IIS

4.0,

which does not normally require it.
