Hi Brett,
I found this:
2) Why do browsers other than Netscape require a java
applet?
The web camera uses a technique called "server push"
which, in theory, is available to any browser fully
compliant with the the IETF RFC1521 specification. To see
server push, your browser must understand the MIME type
multipart/x-mixed-replace
. All Netscape browsers since
version 1.1 do support this MIME type, however AOL and
Microsoft's Internet Explorer browsers are not fully
compliant with the standard. A java applet is one way to
get around this problem, although there are other ways.
Newer versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer are supposed
to support multipart/x-mixed-replace, but this is not
certain.
