It is a shame that the .wmf file is fed without appropriate mime type to
indicate to standards compliantr browser what type of conetnt it is. (HP's
servers serve it as applicatin/octet-stream).

The contents of the video however are very good.

Now, for the really nice part:

HTTP/1.0 302 OK, CGI redirect
Location: http://wwwa.accuweather.com/adcbin/public/index.asp?partner=accuweather
MIME-version: 1.0
Server: OSU/3.9c;UCX
Content-type: text/plain
Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit

Kudos to David Jones for his OSU web server serving the front end of
Accuweather's main site.

(Unfortunatly, the redirect point to a Microsoft IIS web server).
