Ruby on Rails

Sorry, haven't been in the forums for a couple days.

Try creating a .htaccess file in you public directory (if its not
already there) and add the following lines to it:

AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType video/webm .webm
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(og[gv]|mp4|m4v|webm)$ no-gzip dont-vary

And whatever other mimetypes you want, those should serve it fine. I'm
only suggesting this as you have had no luck with your first example
in rack.

Email me if you haven't solved it and would like more help.
