If your goal is to make it only work in Quicktime, or some other standalone application like that, chances are pretty good that it doesn't implement everything a full browser implements. For example, does it follow a redirect? Does it do Javascript at all? Not that someone won't be able to hack around these tricks, but you could probably come up with something that would prevent the majority of people from accessing your content directly with a browser. -Rasmus
