play .mov file in UIWebView

Question

I have a .mov file in my backend servers. I want to play this in UIWebView instance. This is how i am doing it using HTML5

NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<video src='%@' controls autoplay height='480' width='640'> </video>",[mediaUrl absoluteString]];
[self.webView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@""]];

The thing is mediaUrl hits an API on my backend servers which does a HTTP redirect to the .mov file. This is not working in UIWebView . How do i solve this?

为什么不想使用MPMoviePlayerViewController？
