My Browser is dead

[Testman]

I uploaded a flesh game file(game.swf) 2,5 mb to a host site, renamed it to (game.bmp)
After it, I tried to open it with Vita's Browser and it stopped working, I tried to open different sites but my browser always showed white page, even playstation network store didn't show a thing.

After reboot all works fine.

isn't it so that, PSVita doesn't support flash?
and there's something with html 5.0 or something..

Who talked about Flash or HTML5 anyway? He said it's a BMP image. Keep on topic.

No, it's a Flash file RENAMED to BMP. Presumably the Vita browser then tries to open it as a BMP image, and crashes because it is NOT a BMP image.

I know but who cares what it actually is. For Vita (and Windows, but not for *IX systems), it's the extension that matters. So there's no Flash anywhere. It's a BMP.

Yeah, but you said "Who talked about Flash?" - the OP did. And it's not a BMP, the Vita just thinks it is. Just cause a guy dresses in drag doesn't actually make him a woman. Similarly, renaming the file doesn't make it a BMP. I know it's the extension that matters on Windows (didn't know if this was the case for Vita, but assumed it was given the result mentioned in the first post), but just because it's being opened as a BMP doesn't mean it is a BMP. But I get where you're coming from

@OP, why even bother with uploading FLASH/BMP files??? what are you trying to achieve??

I imagine he is trying to do what I do all the time. Trick a file filter into it thinking the file is another format to move it to somewhere it should not be allowed to go.
(I tend to rename exe to jpg myself)
