[Live-devel] Streaming past a firewall.

[Eric Peters]

Hi Neil,

I had the same problems like you if I tried to connect to my server from my
network at home. There I'm connected to the net via a DSL-Router. I have to open
the NAT ports for UDP and declare that the packets have to be sent to my
computer e.g. 192.168.1.1 in the configuration of the router. Then this problem
was solved.

And now to the next problem you have: QuickTime. In the logfiles of my server I
recognized yesterday that all other client send at the beginning of the
connection a OPTIONS or a DESCRIBE request. QuickTime send the GET-request. But
this request could'nt be handled by the RTSPServer-Implementaion of liveMedia.
So the parsing of the string failed and your server returns "400 Bad Request".
Has anybody an idea how to handle a GET-request?
