[opensource-dev] Firewall block of media files

[Whirly Fizzle]

That will not play in a web browser though, the file needs to be downloaded to play it.
Being able to play dropbox links like that via MOAP never worked in any SL viewer as far as I'm aware.

I noticed will testing viewer-release-vlc that it these are not allowed.

​Can you elaborate what you mean by "not allowed" - they just don't play? 
If so, it might be that VLC doesn't support those media types.  I've certainly been able to play MPEG4 files directly from Dropbox for example.
