I've got 2 Apache/Tomcat servers on a network, serving multi-media files.
When served by WinXP to Win2K, everything is fine.
When served by Win98 either to WinXP or Win2K, files with extension .divx begin to display but hang after a few seconds. These are files created by DivX Converter program.
This happens with both MSIE or Firefox browsers, and VideoLAN VLC or DivX plugins.
When the request is made from the WinXP machine, I run the Monitor, and it looks like the file is continuing to be served, but it doesn't display.
Any ideas?

Do you have mod_deflate on ? Try to exlude compression of the extension.

I asked, do you use mod_deflate ? Please answer questions when you want help.

I yes, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_deflate.html

I'm at a loss as to how to check/set these Directives. I am using the Apache Tomcat distro from: http://tomcat.apache.org, click on (Download) Tomcat 5.x.
This downloads a zip file, which, with minor changes runs my servlet application. I don't see any 'httpd.conf' files for Directives. I tried creating it in the /conf sub-directory, but am not sure it was used. Can you give me any hints? The docs seem mostly for unix...

Sorry, you do not run the Apache webserver from http://httpd.apache.org/ . I was thinking you are running Tomcat behind Apache with ReverseProxy

I really do not know how to solve your issue under tomcat.

donnapaul: You have to edit the httpd.conf from the httpd Apache
for example: C:\apache2\conf\httpd.conf or C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf

James, looks like donnapaul is not running apache, he is running the tomcat build-in server. See my post above.

Steffen,
Thanks for the quick responses - I'm giving up on this - Win98 is doomed, anyway. I was just hoping for a quick fix before I get a new machine. Was using a hand-me-down from my brother-in-law... Time to pony up for a more permanent environment.
Thanks anyway...
