hi slava,
When a Shockwave applet embedded in a Web page plays a media file
(e.g. QT or Flash video) from the server, where is that file
downloaded to on
the user's machine? I don't see it in the Shockwave DswMedia folder
for
the current user, and I don't see it in the browser's cache folder.
Where
is it?
maybe it's not stored locally, but just streamed? when embedding QT in a
web page, there is attribute cache=TRUE|FALSE that specifies if the
movie should be cached in the browser cache. maybe it's always turned
off for QT in shockwave?
Actually, I'm interested in preventing the Web visitor from being
able to save the media file that's playing within my Shockwave app in
the Web
page. Can that be achieved? With QT media? With Flash media?
well, if the user has some HTTP sniffer (like e.g. TCP viewer), he can
still see the HTTP request of the shockwave movie for retrieving the
mov, which looks like:
GET /mov/test.mov HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: QuickTimeWinInet
Host: localhost:80
Cache-Control: no-cache
and so easily find out the URL of the mov and directly download it with
the browser or some other download tool.
cheers
valentin
