I think the answer is no. I just uploaded the W3D files to a HTTP
server using FTP as binary Raw Data. You mean I have to map the W3D
suffix to a MIME type in the HTTP server application... that seems
logical in an Internet backwards way. I guess an old Mac server
won't be preconfigured for this.
I don't know if you 'have to', I was just guessing.
Hope it solves your problem.

Thanks for this interesting clue!

Is the .W3D file extension MIME-mapped on the server it's coming from?

About downloading .W3D in a Multiuser application:
I've been investigating more in the problem with downloading W3D
objects from a http server and then importing them into a
shockwave movie.
It seems preloadNetthing() downloads the file from server to the
local cache, but the netMIME is text/html so I guess the W3D is
for some reason treated as text. When importing the file into a
new SW3D member using loadFile like this:
fresh3dMem = #shockwave3d.new()
fresh3dMem.loadFile(theUrl, TRUE, TRUE)
I just get a Error 2147221484 and an empty #shockwave3d member (obviously).
What to do? I can't use FTP because the server runs in passive
mode, which D8.5 does not support. Could I use Multiuser Server to
read the file with readvalue() and then pass it to the Shockwave
as a variable? How?
TIA
