Re: Oracle as HTTP server?

Hi Joost,
playing a mp3 from a Database means:
1. Open a socket connection
2. Download the File over the socket connection and

1. play it simultaneusly
2. play it from the downloaded file.

How can you achieve this:
1. Use an Apache Web-Server which itself downloads the

    mp3 package over jdbc or OCE or something else    (which is in fact a socket connection)    put it into a http protocoll and starts communication with the    Web-Browser (which is in fact a socket connection)    So you have 2 times a serialization ( moving data over sockets)

1. OCE or JDBC
2. http
3. Open a http connection over a port on the database itself you than substitute the jdbc connection with http.

:-)
The second is very elegant and you don't need any third party product. I thought this is what you want ...
Excuse me.
:-)
