Re: NSURLRequest Oddness

Hello,

I am loading an html page that contains an embedded flash file into a WebView. The name of the html file is index.html, and the name of the flash file is popupresponse1.swf. Here is the section of the index.html that embeds the swf file:

<OBJECT classid=""

codebase=""http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0">http://active.macromedia.com/flash2/cabs/swflash.cab#version=4,0,0,0"

ID=popupresponse1 WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=400>

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="popupresponse1.swf">

<PARAM NAME=loop VALUE=false>

<PARAM NAME=quality VALUE=high>

<PARAM NAME=bgcolor VALUE=#000000>

<EMBED src="" quality=high bgcolor=#000000 loop=false

WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=400 TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash"

PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">

</EMBED>

</OBJECT>

When the request for the swf file comes through, instead of being for popupresponse1.swf, the request is for index.html/popupresponse1.swf. Is this normal or expected behavior?

I am actually using a custom protocol to load from a proprietary archive format, so the requests come through as "my_custom_protocol://index.html" and "my_custom_protocol://index.html/popupresponse1.swf". The extra index.html/ in front of the swf file does not happen with regular images in <img> tags. Is there a known reason why OBJECT/EMBED files get requested with the embedding page URL prepended?

I did notice that [request mainDocumentURL] returns the expected url for index.html when normal images are being requested, but returns nil when the swf file is being requested. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ron
