[Developers] Question Regarding VizLauncher

[Tom Goodale]

Hi,

which web-browser are you using ?  You may need to setup the 
helper-application by hand, as some of the newer browsers ignore the 
.mime.types and .mailcap files.  Also you may need to make a soft link

ln -s Vizlauncher VizLauncher-streamed-hdf5

(assuming you are using unix) and associate the mime-type for streamed 
hdf5

data/x-streamed-hdf5

with the VizLauncher-streamed-hdf5 application, as again, some of the 
newer browsers, such as Mozilla, no longer seem to allow one to pass 
useful arguments such as mime-type to the helper application.

I hope this helps,

Tom
