Opera 7.54 compatible?

[d~l]

My question - has lps been tested with Opera 7.54?

...

I have Flash Player 7, 0, 19, 0 installed in WinXP Pro SP1.

lps-2.2 and lps-2.2.1 cores are installed as two separate webapps in Tomcat 5.0.28.

Laszlo generated Flash displays as follows across different browsers-


lps-2.2 lps-2.2.1
IE 6 yes yes
Mozilla 1.7.3 yes yes
Firefox 1.0 yes yes
Opera 7.54 yes no


In lps-2.2.1

http://localhost:8080/lps-2.2.1/my-apps/copy-of-hello.lzx

I get this error message:-


Not Found
The requested URL /pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/copy-of-hello.lzx was not found on this server.


In the HTML wrapper page there is this paragraph:-


The code generated for Internet Explorer on Windows uses proprietary extensions to ensure that the correct version of the Flash plug-in is installed. Internet Explorer on Windows can also display the XHTML 1.0 version, so if you need to embed your application into a larger static page, you should use the XHTML 1.0 version.)


...

I see that only Internet Explorer is referred to and not other browsers.

Does the Laszlo "proprietary extension" - or "sniffer" - detect Opera Flash reader plugin installation?

Why does Opera 7.54 display Flash correctly in lps-2.2 applications - but not in lps-2.2.1 applications?

...

And other symptoms in Opera reported in earlier thread dashboard demo does not load music or video (http://www.laszlosystems.com/developers/community/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1097&highlight=opera)

In Dashboard example .. music and video does not play in Opera 7.54.
Works o.k. in other browsers.

...

Here is the Flash Plugin information for Opera 7.54

Shockwave Flash
application/x-shockwave-flash swf
application/futuresplash spl
C:\Program Files\Opera75\Program\Plugins\NPSWF32.dll


and this test site works in Opera 7.54

Any significance of "Responding with NOT_MODIFIED"?

[mdavis]

Opera is one of those browsers that is "compatible" but not "certified". Until your trouble, we had no information that would lead us to believe that there were any issues with Opera. One of the few things that changed between 2.2 and 2.2.1 were the wrappers.

Try http://localhost:8080/lps-2.2.1/my-apps/copy-of-hello.lzx?lzt=html-object
or
http://localhost:8080/lps-2.2.1/my-apps/copy-of-hello.lzx?lzt=v1

And see if either of those work better for you.
