[Paraview] paraviewweb portability question

[J. Calahan]

Hi Sebastien,

Thank you for the quick response.

To load the can.ex2 data set I'm following http://vimeo.com/77824433
step-for-step. It's when I click on the filename that nothing seems to
happen in the 3D view. Similarly, when I click the + button and add,
say, a sphere nothing seems to happen.
