Though i would diffidently put the file in webroot to save server resources and perhaps yet better i would try to put it in a CDN but if you would like to serve the file the way you described, have you written [header("Content-Type: video/x-ms-wmv");] before you send the file back to client.

Hi there,
I'm experiencing a very strange problem. I'm trying to remotely
download a video file.
I've done a very basic PHP code using the readfile() function. This
code works absolutely fine.
Now when I copy / paste the exact same code into my CakePHP
controller, the URL works, a file is actually downloaded, the size of
the downloaded file is correct, but the type of the file is not
recognized, i.e. the video can't be played.
I tried the same with a mp3 file, just to check if the problem was not
a video format one, and the same problem happened. And again the
original PHP code is working fine with this mp3 file.
I have added these 3 lines just in case in my controller :
Configure::write('debug', 0);
$this->autoLayout = false;
$this->autoRender = false;
but the same problem happens.
Any idea?
