Bug Description
If a browser helper application is used to load a file from IVLE, it may be redirected to the IVLE login screen rather than receiving the content. This is because it lacks the IVLE login cookies.
Totem will respond that it can't find a codec for "text/html".
Not sure if this can be fixed apart from offering HTTP Basic Auth for download links or somehow convincing browsers to always do the download themselves.
Using HTML5 media tags should help alleviate this problem.
