Youku.com is #1 youtube-like site in China. ------------------------ What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. go to http://www.oneava.cn/read.php?tid=49 2. wait a a few second 3. press a large play button in the middle of 'flash' frame What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Flash movie should be played. Instead, we get an error message in Chinese. Please use labels and text to provide additional information. Here's the analysis (slightly paraphrased from the orignal emial report): ---------------------- Here are the headers caught with chrome: 060.247.104.099.07961-059.175.133.025.00080: GET /19678964764/020064010048425D28CABD00380F414E90E8FF-9EB6-4DCF-0858- C5378F42C4EC.flv HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13 Referer: http://www.oneava.cn/read.php?tid=49 Accept: */* Accept-Language: zh-CN,zh Accept-Charset: gb18030,*,utf-8 Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,bzip2 Host: 59.175.133.25 Connection: Keep-Alive Here are IE's headers: 060.163.233.090.03560-059.175.133.025.00080: GET /196f7764764/020064070047241199C96F0048CFA690E8D0F3-B2A8-7E99-061C- C5114F6C4B05.flv?start=170 HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* Accept-Language: zh-CN Referer: http://static.youku.com/v1.0.0320/v/swf/qplayer.swf x-flash-version: 9,0,124,0 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) Connection: Keep-Alive Host: 59.175.133.25 Basically they need to check the referer to make sure the request comes from the flash they created, instead of a download link. IE gives referer as the url of flash swf, while chrome gives the url of the page, which fails their check. It seems they do have the need to confirm referer. Is it that we are doing it wrong? |

The value of Referer: field is different in different browsers. There's a recent mail from an Opera engineer about the issue in NPAPI plugin-future mailing list. (I can't give a url because the archive is protected). The gist of that email is : IE8 : sends the URL of the requesting plug-in Firefox3: does not send a refere (except in a very special case : [3]) Safari 3.1 : does not send a referer Chrome : sends the embedding page URL Opera : sends the embedding page URL It seems that webkit (as used in Safari 3.1 newer than as used in Chrome) does not send a referer and not sending referer works for sites like youku.com.

Fixed in chrome revision 2539 Author: iyengar@google.com Date: Tue Sep 23 17:56:42 2008 New Revision: 2539 Log: This fixes the following bugs:- 1. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1473 2. http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1533 Our plugin implementation currently sends the containing frame URL as the default referer in HTTP requests initiated by plugins. Based on a discussion on the Plugin futures mailing list, an agreement has been reached to mimic IE behavior and send in the plugin source URL as the default referer in plugin requests. If the plugin is instantiated with an empty SRC, then use the containing frame URL as the referer. Bug=1473,1533 R=jam Review URL: http://codereview.chromium.org/3180
