IE temporary files problem

[Mike Pawka]

I am having a problem with real player opening temp files under IE. If I
click on a "ram" file, IE passes control to the real player which displays
the message:

file://C:/windows/Temporary Internet Files"/..../..../file[1].ram could not
be found.

If I save the ram file to the desktop and double-click the icon it real
player streams the file just fine.

If I use Netscape or Mozilla to start playing the file, it works fine.

I'm wondering if the "[","]" characters in the file name are the problem.

Tried both Win 98SE and Win XP.

I am interested in your problem, because I have a similar
problem with another file type (should not be relevant,
..sgf). Note that in my case, this used to work before.

Do you also experience following:

1. make sure you have the Open/Save As confirmation window
for ram file type
2. click on an internet .ram link, but do not Open nor Save
yet: leave the dialog box open
3. instead, see if the file has temporarily been downloaded
(already!) in one of the folders in your TIF (Temporary
Internet Folder). its filename should be something like
xxx[y].ram
4. when you then go to the Open/Save As dialog box and to
open the file, the file that - until then - was in the TIF,
now seems to disappear before real player has a chance to
open it: actually, real player does not find the file
because it has been deleted.

thanks,

Problem turned out to be the http server "g-zipping" the files before
serving them.
