Created attachment 98955 [details]
test mp3 file

OS X media engine misidentifies attached mp3 file as a live stream when loaded from the network. It is opened correctly when opened locally.

Originally reported as https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56751. That was closed as "works for me" even though the bug remains, so this was filed.

The bug might have something to do with either the MIME type being sent by the webkit.org server, or the lack of an extension on the URL itself.  When downloading the file to my local machine, renaming it a .mp3 file, serving it via HTTP from localhost, and playing in Safari, it behaves normally.

FWIW, bug 56751 was about opening a local file, so no HTTP headers there.

Actually, that bug looks like it worked correctly when served as a local file, but not when served remotely.
