Launching html response in browser (or playing flash)

I have a POST request that returns an HTML page with embedded flash

Trying to run it from Paw directly (i.e. choosing 'Web') shows 'Blocked Plug-in'. Is there a way to either unblock this or to open the response in a web browser?

Thanks!

You can export the response from File > Export Response > Response Body and open this in a browser. However, many browsers may block content such as Flash loaded from a static file on disk. - Natalia Panferova
OK, that works, but it's a bit long winded having to export every time then loading the file into a browser. Is there a way to get this done in one step that you know of? - Olly W
At the moment this is the only way, but we'll be adding action scripts in the future, since we are sandboxed you will only be able to save to a limited set of directories without a prompt, need to look into if we can trigger your default browser to open the file safely. - Natalia Panferova
OK, great. Thanks for the info! - Olly W

You should be able to right-click on the URL in the response view and hit "Open Link in Web Browser"

Open HTML response in web browser from Paw HTTP Client
