title: Flv file download and browser progress bar
body: <p>I have just coded up a web based flv file download utility. When I try to download an flv file, the browser does not show a progress bar as in I do not see the time left for download. Somewhere I read that this happens if the flv file you are trying to download does not have a meta tag associated with it. So I ran my flv file through the Perl module <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Flv-Info" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FLV::Info</a> and I see that meta tag header is present. </p>
  
  <p>Below is an example of the meta tag I see for an flv file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>File name          0.360730744040669.flv
  File size          167 bytes
  Meta               1 event
    canSeekToEnd     1
    filesize         167
    metadatacreator  FLV::File v0.22
    metadatadate     Wed Feb  4 17:00:07 2009
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Anyone any ideas?</p>
