 This is modeled slightly after the TivoWebPlus functionality where a small
 .asx file is generated and downloaded to the client.  When that file is
 opened on the client (usually automatically), the respective player
 (Windows Media Player, mplayer, totem, etc) reads the contents of the .asx
 file, and accesses the media as defined in the .asx file, which, in this
 case, is the direct URL to the full media file.  The client then buffers
 and plays the media as it is being downloaded.

 The current handler.pl implementation did not allow for this functionality
 as it required the entire mpg to be downloaded to the client before the
 client would act upon it.

 This works for Windows and Linux clients.  It has been tested against
 Windows Media Player, Totem, and mplayer.
