[Seaside] Embedding MIDI

[Jay Hardesty]

Dmitry, Jason -
Thanks very much for the pointers.  The suggested solution is similar 
to what
I had tried previously:

renderContentOn: html
	| url rwBinaryOrTextStream |

	rwBinaryOrTextStream _ self remix midiStream.
	url _ html context
		urlForDocument: rwBinaryOrTextStream
		mimeType: 'audio/midi'
		fileName: self remix name, '.mid'.
	html
		attributeAt: 'src' put: html registry baseUrl asString, url;
		attributeAt: 'width' put: 150;
		attributeAt: 'height' put: 250;
		attributeAt: 'controls' put: true;
		attributeAt: 'autostart' put: true;
		attributeAt: 'loop' put: true;
		tag: 'embed']

But this causes a midi file to be downloaded, and then popped
up in a Quicktime player (I'm on a mac).  If I simply supply the name
of a file, instead of url, as in:

renderContentOn: html

	html
		attributeAt: 'src' put: 'some.mid';
		attributeAt: 'width' put: 150;
		attributeAt: 'height' put: 250;
		attributeAt: 'controls' put: true;
		attributeAt: 'autostart' put: true;
		attributeAt: 'loop' put: true;
		tag: 'embed']

I see the embedded player show up on the page, but I get
an error that the file cannot be found.  Even if I specify the
entire (disk-based) path to the file, the file cannot be found.
I'm sure I'm missing a fundamental disconnect between the
disk-based directory structure, and whatever directory structure
Seaside is using.   I've been looking through the tutorials and
examples, but somewhere or other I missed the basic
mechanism whereby a disk-based file can be accessed
in Seaside.

I'm trying to use Seaside as an intro to web programming in
general, but I'm obviously missing some beginner stuff here.
Sorry if this seems hopelessly naive - but any advice is
certainly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Jay
