WMV and IIS

am 24.05.2006 12:28:01 von Andrea

Hello
i've some WebServer (windows 2000 and windows 2003).
I've a question about file Avi and Wmv : when a client call a link with a
wmv file (es. www.mio.com/video.wmv) IIS start a streaming.
There's a method to block this and prompt the file's Download?
I try to set mime type.....(single site and principal iis node)
I've found Urlscan but this totally block the file....
there's some method?
Tanks to all

It is up to the client machine to decide what to do with the file. It can
either open up an application to play the file, or it can prompt the user
what to do with the file.

You can try and fool the client machine by setting a different, unknown MIME
type, so the the client doesn't know what to do with it.

Cheers
Ken
