Video won’t play over SSL(https) unless embedded

by mikethered . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

I’m in the process of setting up Win 2003 Server x64, Standard and IIS6.0 as a new webserver. Some of our clients view video embedded within web pages while others access the video directly. We usually require a 128-bit SSL connection to our site.

I’ve run into the problem, though, that videos cannot be viewed directly over SSL. For instance:

(Say embedded.htm has some.wmv embedded in it:)
https://oursite/embedded.htm WORKS
http://oursite/embedded.htm WORKS
http://oursite/some.wmv WORKS
https://oursite/some.wmv FAILS

On this last URL, WMP opens and begins to load the video, then says the server is unavailable and a network error occurred.

I know this is possible because it worked on our old server, but the guy who configured it has no idea how he got this to work.

Any ideas or suggestions ya’ll might have would be greatly appreciated – I’m already several days over due getting this server up.

Thanks,
MZR
