Hey together

I have a question concerning the mechanisme to identify a silverlight object.
Is it possible to identify a silverlight object by a magic byte or what is the method of noscript?
does it block a silverlight object if it sees a <object> tag in the html page with a special mime type?

My idea is it to block all silverlight objects in my proxy by byte pattern, if possible

thanks for all answeres

Ewww, magic value byte sniffing.

I believe the identification is done by Firefox, not NoScript and Firefox taking in account Content-Type HTTP header or the type stated in the to the the object element.
