	Sure enough, that did the trick.  Using a git clone drawn down and  
compiled about fifteen minutes ago, I do have a working  
llSetPrimMediaParams() call in my Opensimulator grid now.  Thank you  
very much!

	Behind our firewall the URL does resolve.  That's the whole point of  
this exercise.  No matter what LL says, we can't use their grid.
That's why we were the first company to license our own copy of their  
code, but that code is years old and doesn't support MOAP.

	The Opensimulator grid I just compiled does not in fact seem to  
require that PRIM_MEDIA_AUTO_PLAY be TRUE, though I haven't tested it  
on video yet.  It paints static Web pages just fine without it..

	Well, we sure will.  Thanks again!
