[Live-devel] HTTP in Subdirectory with Live555 Media Server

[Zach Hogya]

Hi Ross,


I've come up with a fix that works for me if you want to confirm it and roll into a future build.


Inside file: /live555/liveMedia/RTSPServer.cpp

Inside routine: Boolean RTSPServer::RTSPClientConnection::parseHTTPRequestString


Change:

  *   while (j > 0 && reqStr[j] != ' ' && reqStr[j] != '/') --j;

To:

  *   while (j > 0 && reqStr[j] != ' ') --j;


Thanks,

Zach Hogya

> Thank you for the reply. Not to get too far off-topic, but the Live Media Server documentation has a section describing support for Apple products and states the following:
> As a special case, the server can also stream MPEG Transport Stream files to iPhones and iPads, using Apple's "HTTP Live Streaming" mechanism. (A single server can stream the same file(s) using either RTSP/RTP (to standard RTSP/RTP clients such as VLC), or using HTTP (to "Safari" on iPhones and iPads).)
[?]
> To view such a stream from an iPhone or iPad, you do so using the "Safari" browser app, and use a "http://" URL, not a "rtsp://" URL. Specifically, you enter an URL of the form
>
> http://<server-name-or-ip-address>:<http-port-number>/<filename>
> The above is the setup I am using and it definitely supports an http://... URL so long as the transport stream file is located in the same directory as the liveMediaServer binary.

You?re correct.  I had forgotten about the ?HTTP Live Streaming? support (and was a bit surprised to learn that someone is actually using it :-)

I?ll investigate why subdirectories in URLs apparently do not work.  Thanks for the note.
