User-agent: Microsoft Outlook Express Macintosh Edition - 5.01 (1630)
The DSS_SERVER_INTERNAL flag was added recently to the QTFileLib. This
library needs to use the file system to read Hinted QuickTime files, and in
recent versions of QTSS API, File I/O from a QTSS API module *must* go
through the proper QTSS API callbacks.
QTFileLib is used both inside a QTSS API module (the QTSSFileModule), and in
several other programs not tied to the server & QTSS API
(PlaylistBroadcaster, for instance).
There must be different code for file reading depending on whether QTFileLib
is inside a QTSS API module or outside the server, so that's why this flag
was added.
This solution is not really ideal - an object layer could be used to
abstract file I/O in the QTFileLib - but it's what's there now.
