QuickTime 7 requiring double authentication on web page

I have a website with password protected content using .htaccess. On these pages are embedded QuickTime movies for my clients to view.
Before upgrading to QuickTime 7, users are able to authenticate to the web folder and view content without any further need to enter their username and password. Movies load in the pages and the user watches with no problem. After QuickTime 7 is installed however, they are prompted to authenticate AGAIN to view the movie. This is after getting to the site, authenticating, and locating the movie they want to view.
What happened with QuickTime 7 that suddenly web browsers (I've tried in Firefox, IE, and Safari on Mac and Windows) do not pass authentication information to QuickTime? Is there something I can change in my html code?

Hi Ryan - although it seems noone else has this problem, I just wanted to say that I do. No idea why, it's pretty inconvenient...
Furthermore the QT authorisation windows that pop up do not support navigation by keyboard, whereas the Safari ones do. All seems a bit 'bolted on'...

  • Authentication on web page fails as though nothing was submitted

    When using either my iPad or iMac to access a newsletter that I subscribe, I frequently have issues logging in.  The operator of the web page says to clear cookies, cache, etc. to solve the problem.  That rarely works.  This problem was sporadic before I moved to Australia in June, it is almost certain every time now.  I had a spell a couple weeks ago when the iPad was working again, I may have reset and restored it, don't remember.  It is not working again.  On the iMac it plain doesn't work.  I have installed Ubuntu in Virtual Box VM and used Firefox in that VM but it has the same result.  Firefox under the Latest Mac OS doesn't work and I have tried Opera too.  On the iPad Chrome fairs no better than Safari.  I saw a reference to servers using Microsoft ISA in 2010 using some sort of utility for hahndling authentication that Apple doesn't support ( NTHML ???), is that a possibility and if so what is the work around?  It really ***** using my Telstra 7" touch phone with Android to access the web page.  Android is still a poor (capability wise) substitute for the Apple iOS.

    Got a couple follow up questions.  Postiing the response here.
    1.  Please send us step by step method on how to recreate the problem, and the URL of the PDF file that shows the issue.
    * Write a simple console application that does nothing but starting a browser. Browser URL set to any web site with embedded PDF. I believe I used a sample on Adobe's site for last test.
    2. Is everyone in your company experiencing the same issue?
    * Yes, everyone can be affected.
    3. Does the error show up on any PDF or just the embedded PDF?
    * Only embedded.
    4. Does the problem occur with Firefox?
    * Not browser specific.
    5. Do you have any other version of Reader or Acrobat installed on the same system?
    * No, clean test box. Tested with 10.0.0 first. Failed. Then cleaned up install and installed 10.1.3. Cannot repro with 9.5.
    Root cause appears to be Protected Mode. If I disable that, it works.

  • Quicktime Logo w/Question mark on web pages

    A few months ago, suddenly I was unable to view Quicktime files on web pages when they loaded. The program is on my computer and it will play files I have saved on my hard drive but when I go to a website that has a Quicktime file (still or video) I only get the Quicktime logo with a question mark and cannot open, play or access the file in any way. I've checked all the settings I know on my computer to fix the problem but none of them have worked. Anyone have a solution to this issue?

    How to view/hear pretty much everything:
    Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • Code "eg-red3": Problems getting QuickTime to install from an HTML web page

    Hi all,
    We have many mov files on our company intranet, and users are prompted to download the QT Player if it is not already installed on their PC (Windows).
    Everything has worked fine, literally for two years, but now, the install doesn't initiate. Instead, users are now taken to this URL:
    http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/qtc/nph-QuickTime.hqx?okto_email=N&ok_toqtmail=N&platform=win&product=qtc&errloc=us&country=us&method=pp&brow=msie
    and it displays this rather uninformative error:
    Sorry, an error has occured. Please try again
    eg-red3
    Go back to the form page.
    If you click on the Go back to the form page link, it also generates a similar server error.
    We have not changed ANYTHING in the movie embedding, and looking at the current documentation on the Apple site, apparently everything is still correct. The relevant portions of the embedded code are:
    codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab
    pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Can anyone please provide some guidance?
    Thanks for your help.

    From what I know you can only display the content of a JFrame in the applet container. If you call a JFrame instance it will popup as a seperate window.
    // add menubar to applet
    applet.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
    // Add border
    tabPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.LOWERED));
    // Add filled tabPane to applet
    applet.add(tabPane);Now you can embed the applet in the IFrame if you call another html page with an applet attached on it within the IFrame.

  • Quicktime has stopped showing clips on web pages

    I used to be able to view quicktime clips instantly on various web-sites, but suddenly the clips are downloading but no images appear. I have to save the clips and view them later. Could it be because I downloaded the updated version 7.2.0. and overlooked some setting?

  • Safari 2.0.3 required to load GAP web page

    How can I update my Safari to 2.0.3 for my ibook which has OS X10.3.9. What is the alternative browser since MS also stop supporting Mac OS.

    Hello nautilus66:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Unfortunately, Safari 2.0.3 only runs on OS X 10.4 (not OS X 10.3). Alternative browsers would be Camino or Firefox - I do not use either so I do not know whether or not they will address your issue.

  • Create PDF From Web Page - Authenticated SharePoint Sites generate "Authorization Failure" error

    We have several authenticated sharepoint sites on our intranet, and we are trying to create a PDF of a site (x levels down) using the Acrobat create PDF from web page feature.  When you try to create a PDF from a non-sharepoint, authenticated website, a login prompt appears asking for login credentials.  However, when you try to use the same feature on an authenticated sharepoint site, you do not get prompted for credentials and instead get an Authorization Failure error.  the popup says "Error: Nothing Done".  We have successfully PDF'd anonymous sharepoint sites on the WWW.  Has anyone successfully PDF'd an authenticated SharePoint site? 
    Thanks in advance,

  • Router Web Page Authentication

    Sorry to be bringing this up again, it looks like it's been addressed a few times in the last couple years, but I've read these multiple times and attempted to apply the lessons they teach and have not had success.
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/HTTP-Connection-with-Password/m-p/1146346#M504441
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Read-data-of-embedded-web-page/m-p/1243792#M525335
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Use-LabVIEW-to-login-username-and-password-into-device-IP/m-p/651832...
    and of course http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication
    What I'm trying to achieve here is use LabVIEW 2010 to rip text from multiple pages of a local router via WiFi, parse the text, and make decisions based on the values retrieved.  Unfortunately some of the information I need requires a password be entered (just a password, "admin") before being granted access to to the pages I want.  Pretty typical for routers though I think.
    Ripping the text and parsing the strings is not a problem (though it can be a drag), I'm having difficulty with logging in to the router with LabVIEW.  As I said the password is "admin" and unfortunately I have to assume that the username is also "admin". 
    This is the page I'm trying to get to after logging in: http://192.168.0.1/user/advanset.html?sid=824643 (I'm not trying to post a link for anyone to click on, just showing the URL)
    So using MikeS81's WebPageAuthentication_LV85.vi (found here: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Read-data-of-embedded-web-page/m-p/1251826#M527035) I can get the source html, but not the info from the page.
    Therefore I'm trying to use MikeS81's WebPageAuthentication_LV85.vi in conjunction with the Rip Web Text.vi (sorry, can't seem to find a link to it right now, but I did get it form the NI LabVIEW forums).  When Rip Web Text is incorporated the browser returns
    "The website declined to show this webpage
     HTTP 403
      Most likely causes:
    This website requires you to log in."
    I don't know a whole lot about web pages or TCPIP or HTML but I'm assuming that "sid=" in the URL means I'm being granted temporary access via some kind unique ID that expires, a cookie or something.  The VI is attached to this post, please let me know if you have any thoughts on it.  I've changed the indicators to use the output I received as the default values (so you should be able to see what I've gotten back in the VI).  It seems to me that I should be trying to rip the text before closing the TCP connection opened for authentication, if this is incorrect please let me know.
    I know it may seem that I'm Frankensteining some serious crap together here, hope this doesn't end up in the Rube Goldberg thread... but I'll understand if it does. 
    Thanks, and have a great weekend.

    Christopher:
    A couple of thoughts regarding your POST VI:
    The 501 error makes it sound like (and I'm just guessing here) we have a header parameter off. LabVIEW is probably just assuming a set of defaults or not even specifying the header, whereas your browser is probably turning around and re-using the headers it got from the GET requests.
    I think it might be worth manually inserting the header data (you can get it from the tamperdata capture) line by line into the request (see screen shot).
    Here's what looks like an/the important POST:
    POST http://192.168.0.1/ajax_request?Endpassword=admin Load Flags[LOAD_BYPASS_CACHE LOAD_BACKGROUND ] Content Size[-1] Mime Type[text/html]
    Request Headers:
    Host[192.168.0.1]

    Here's the beginning of how we'd put in the header data:
    Also, in your VI, it looks like there's a space in the request data: /ajax_request ?Endpassword=admin.
    Try changing it to /ajax_request?Endpassword=admin.
    The issue may just be that space, so try that first...

    Any one knows how to make quicktime plugin do not display on top of the web page??? I've tried to change the zIndex property using javascript, but it doesn't work.

  • WIRELESS IOS AUTONOMOUS + Guest to internet + authenticated via a web page.

    Hi to all,
    need to configure with:
    - AUTONOMOUS IOS AP (NOT use a wireless controller)
    - CISCO IOS router 2811
    a guest wireless network that only has access to the internet through a vlan WITH HTTP/S GUEST AUTHENTICATION WEB PAGE ?
    I know:
    "web authorization isn't native to the access point. It is a web authorization portal that is on the WLC."
    "Cisco IT example: At present we use GRE tunnels for guest traffic which was a part of legacy guest networking solution we had at Cisco for several years. GRE tunnels get terminated at one the DMZ routers. Each request for a guest connection to the Internet gets authenticated over https by either a Cisco Building BroadBand Services Manager (BBSM) or a Cisco NAC Appliance. Guests get provided with an access code in advance as we use a web based portal/application to produce those. Also we support guest connections for both wireless and wired clients from some switch ports. "
    I am looking for any suggestions (are there any feature on CISCO IOS ROUTER for "HTTP/S GUEST AUTHENTICATION WEB PAGE").
    Thanks.
    Roberto Taccon

    If the router with auth proxy is the one providing the ip address on the client connecting to the autonomous AP, it may be an option.
    Local AAA will not work with auth proxy as then there you are no longer in a scenario where the router is proxy.
    You could get a WLC526 (small controller) to get the web auth, or a free radius server (many out there) that will run on a linux server and then use the http proxy feature.
    I personally recommend you to get a WLC, in the long run you will benefit of many more features and you will be able to very easily add other access points.
    The WLC526 is the smaller one:

  • How do I fire a URL into QuickTime from a web page?

    Looking at the Apple trailer site and I like the way that if you view a HD trailer it loads QuickTime and opens the video straight into QuickTime
    Now I assume it's sending the URL of the MOV file to QuickTime to play.
    How can I make a link from a HTML page send the URL into QuickTime to replicate the same way to run a video.
    At the moment I build "pop up" windows to display movies in, and I think using QuickTime in this way will be better so if someone has popups blocked my movies will still play.
    It must be simple to do.
    I once did a site for someone that need a podcast and I got it to send it to iTunes. But I cant seem to see how to do the same for a movie to QuickTime
    R

    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
    The technique is known as Poster Movies. A tiny image file saved as .mov file that can either act as a "placeholder" (target="myself") or act like a "link" (target="quicktimeplayer").
    http://www.qtbridge.com/pageot/pageot.html
    Free software to help write the proper page code.
    Another method is a QuickTime Media Link (.qtl file). These tiny text based files can be placed anywhere in a Web page and will always download (Mac or PC) and will launch the QuickTime Player.

  • Embedding QuickTime Video om Web Page

    Hello,
    Thank you in advance for any help someone can provide. I am trying to embed a quick time movie on a web page. I have received the reference file from the company that will host the quick time movie and I successfully can embed the movie. How do I embed the movie with a frame of the movie with the controller to display when a visitor initially visits my page? Do I need to have the reference file recreated?

    http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/javascript/excerpt/learnwebdesign_chap22/index.html
    scoot down the page and you will see
    Use the autoplay parameter and attribute to set whether the
    movie starts
    playing automatically when the page loads (true) or if the
    user needs to hit
    the Play button to start the movie (false).

  • No sound with quicktime plug in on web pages

    There's no sound when I play videos on web pages encoded with quicktime, however Flash videos, as on YouTube for example, do work. This seems to have happened recently, but I cannot pinpoint what caused it.
    One solution I found and have tried, is setting the audio format in the Audio MIDI Set up, but it was already the recommended 44100 Hz.
    Any ideas gratefully received.

    Please provide a sample link/URL of the problematic web pages.
    If you have Garage Band installed, open same & then quit out of the app.
    If you have not already done so, try running repair permissions from your HD and afterwards run +repair disk+ from your software install DVD.
