[Laszlo-dev] where to put a test file that needs to be remote?

[Sarah Allen]

The problem is that it takes a fragile jsp to gt the flv path from  
YouTube.  I tried just putting it on my webserver, but it downloads  
too fast :) It looks like there are some Apache modules for bandwidth  
throttling.  In particular, mod_cband looks fairly up to date and has  
positive reviews.  Does anyone have any experience with that?

Any chance of getting it installed on www.openlaszlo.org and  
configuring a directory to be slow?  then we could put the test file  
in there to be able to reproduce the buffering feedback without  
depending on a website which keeps changing its behavior.

If not, I'll look at installing it on ultrasaurus, but it may be a  
while before I can get to that.  (FYI: the context for this is that  
I've got some scrubber/progress components in the works that are more  
independently usable that the ones currently used by the videoplayer  
component. I'd rather check them in when I can make it so that the  
videoplayer classes use them, rather than having duplicate private/ 
public components that do almost the same thing.)
