I tried to apply Michael's suggestion (that another time worked fine) to
download a video at this address:

 http://www.raiclicktv.it/raiclickpc/secure/folder.srv?id=1925#

, by clicking on `Roma'.  More precisely, the address is:

 http://www.raiclicktv.it/raiclickpc/secure/stream.srv?id=3429&idCnt=17923&pagina=1&path=RaiClickWeb^Home^Sapere^Letture+^CAMMIN+LEGGENDO#1

.  The strange is, that no large file seems to be downloaded in
~/.mozilla/firefox/duq4lps5.default/Cache.  But, where else if not there?  So I
didn't manage to download the file.

I also tried with clive, but it said:

clive 0.4.18 20080715  [Linux]
error: unsupported host (http://www.raiclicktv.it/raiclickpc/secure/stream.srv?id=3429&idCnt=17923&pagina=1&path=RaiClickWeb^Home^Sapere^Letture+^CAMMIN+LEGGENDO#1)
=> 0 (0.0B), failed: 1, skipped: 0.
error: nothing to extract.


.  Any suggestion?  At that web site there are some real treasures that deserve
absolutely to be collected!

Thanks for any help
Rodolfo
