I have a simple html file to open an mp4 (h.264) file. When the file sits on a Windows IIS server, my IPhone and IPad will play the video without any issues.
When the file sits on a proprietary server, my IPhone and IPad request the download, but then stops the process almost immediately. Non IOS phones and desktop browsers have no problems requesting and viewing the video from the proprietary server.
The proprietary server is one that was created using c++ (Visual Studio 6.0) several years ago. They used the winsock libraries that were available at the time. I'm not very knowledgeable about winsock, but I have been afraid that IOS requires some handshaking that the older winsock libraries may not have.
Non IOS devices access the video file from the server with no problems.
I use Wireshark to see the http/tcp requests between the IPhone and the server. I see the IPhone request the mp4 and then I see the server send a "200 OK" response and then start to send the file. Soon after the server starts to send the file, the IPhone sends a "reset" request which stops the sending of the file.
Any ideas why the IPhone would reset the communication and stop the file from being sent? I am far from a regular user of Wireshark, so hopefully, my reading of the file is correct.
Here is an image of my Wireshark capture if anyone is interested. It clearly shows the reset from the IPhone.
Thank you for any help.
