SVG animation wont play...

I have a small animation in Adobe SVG format. It plays well in IE with the file located in my hard disk (C:\eve\presse2.svg in the adress bar). I have the SVG viewer plugin installed in IE.
How should i link it in my wiki, because "[image http://oliopresse.wikidot.com/local--files/start/presse.svg]" (but with the double brackets, of course) doesnt work, it only display the filename. It's more a xml document than an ordinary image.

I am noticing that my SVG file has MIME type text/x-c++; charset=us-ascii. This probably does not help displaying SVGs readily as graphics.

It should help if a file named .htaccess sits in the same folder with the following contents:
AddType image/svg+xml svg
AddType image/svg+xml svgz

(see SVG Wiki)

Uploading a file of that name in the same page doesn't help though. What does, then?

Shouldn't you upload the animation on Internet? You can upload it to your site…

That's philippe09's point.

Once it is uploaded and then delivered over HTTP it can only be downloaded, not opened directly with the browser, even if the browser is capable of rendering SVG. When it is on your local disk (i.e. not uploaded or downloaded already, depending on your view), it can be opened.

I tried to outwit my FF 3 by telling it to automatically open SVGs with FF 3. This hit back hard as Firefox recursively opened TABs until I stopped it.
