Re: [cobalt-users] *.Zip and *.swf do not display correctly

Mike,

  Well, actually httpd has to be stopped/restarted, but if you
  are like most, yes, just restart the server and it should work.

  As for the other(s);  looking in my M$ Win98SE system I see a
  "type" entry for "swf" which points to the executable for
  shockwave.  Regardless of the "extension", if your
  browser/system does not know how to handle it (EG you don't
  have shockwave loaded or some "viewer" to handle it) then it
  will likely just download it as a "file".  Otherwise it should
  download and "run" or possibly like PDFs (which have the IE
  plugin) will actually "open" the correct program and the
  display/run whatever...

  Hope this clarifies (or at least stirs the mud)...
