Hi, I just downloaded and installed your version of Cassini on a home computer and within minutes had my old website mostly up and running. It's way easier than using IIS for a simple webpage.

My question is with .asx files. When I had my website on my old computer (W2K Pro) I was using these files to help send video content down.

On my new computer (XP Home) with UltiDev Cassini when I click on my link I get a dialogue box asking me to save or cancel the .asx file.

How do I go about getting UltiDev Cassini to recognize and handle these file types or can I?

Thanks

Hi, Richard.
We're very glad you find UltiDev Cassini useful. Regarding .asx file, to test the issue, we created a bogus .asx file and placed it into a folder that served from under both Cassini 1.1 and 2.0. When we pointed browser to the .asx file, in both cases servers returned "Content-Type: video/x-ms-asf" header, according to Fiddler http tracer. We used IE6 and FireFox, and in both cases MS MediaPlayer was launched to attempt playing the file - no Save or Cancel dialog. We suspect your client MIME settings got changed by some other media player program. To test this suggestion, on the box where you got Download: Save or Cancel dialog, try to point browser to an .ASX file served by some other non-Cassini server and see if there's a difference. Another test would be to run above-mentioned Fiddler http tracer and see whether you get the same Content-Type header as we did. If not, please let us know.

UltiDev Team.

That was it. My Windows Media Player File Types got unchecked. I checked the settings again and now the asx files are working as I expected them.

Many Thanks
