theora - Mar 2008 - Simple Question : mozilla PFS service .

Hi I'm using a lot Itheora , the cortado /  x-ogg wrapper that works
like a charm.

I was thinking that Java is great , but BTW why do we need Java if no
x-ogg application handler are installed ?

When i visit a page with flash the first time , plugin installed is
only few clicks away, and I don't even care what software makes my
flash application works.

So I understood with

http://wiki.mozilla.org/PFS

that , the defaulkt mozilla server keeps a liste off application <->
MimeTypes for plugin automagic install

I was wondering why didn't the propose one for application/x-ogg ?


Did anybody already ask them ?

I'm afraid I'm not the right person to reply to your query.

On an informational note, though, application/x-ogg is not an official
Ogg media type.

The official Ogg media types are video/ogg, audio/ogg and
application/ogg, depending on the content being served.

Java is currently being used widely because it powers Cortado, the
only decent alternative for embeding Ogg data in the web (again,
currently).  Other alternatives include the Gnash's  project upcoming
plans to implement Ogg embeding in SWFs, and the use of the <video>
and <audio> elements of HTML 5 (supported by future versions of Opera,
Firefox, Konqueror and Safari).
