Sorry for mixing up the HTTP status line - it's been a long while since I last did this manually... You will need to print at least the newlines:

print "HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content\r\n";

Also consider just running your script from the command line to see whether the headers look right. You might want to comment out the sending of the video to prevent binary data being spewed to your terminal.

      So, does everything work now? If not, what is the complete output of your script (without the .mp4 file), and what does the web server write into the error log? Also, are you sure that your choice of browser can play back an mp4 video file? Or are you only trying to download the file to the client, not play it in the browser?

        By default in Webmin it was downloading the file so as per my requirement i have to play the video file instead of downloading it.For debugging i am using the Mozilla Firefox browser and yeah it does support the vlc-plugin. So i am trying with the vlc-plugin to do that. But i dont know what is going wrong.
