Using Netscape 4.7.1, when I drag a windows media file with the ".wmv" extension from my hard drive onto the browser, it plays it in Windows Media Player like it's supposed to. But if I type a URL beginning with "http://" with the same wmv file (stored on a different server) in the browser's address line, the netscape browser displays it as text. What can I do?

After the text box has loaded right click and then select "save page as" and download the WMV file. Netscape says this is a security feature that was built into their browser so to avoid the problems that Internet Explorer has with there vulnerability issues
