[icecast-dev] Missing headers in Icecast2

[Macsym]

Hi Karl,

Thanks for your help,
About the "Connection:" header, you are right, it's:
"Connection: close" and NOT "Connection: keep-alive". The protocol when the
SERVER sends the data is http 1.0. It's http 1.1 when the browser requests
the data.

I don't understand the "Content-Length: 54000000" header either. Also I
noticed the flash player on Windows/IE seems to stop after 52734KB are
loaded (54000000 bytes/1024 = 52734KB). I tried to change the
"Content-Length:" value but it didn't change anything...

I'll try changing the source code of Icecast2 as you advised, and compile
the modified code.

Thanks again,
MAX

Isn't this from the client.

http 1.0 and http 1.1 differ on this. Sending "Connection: close" should
be ok though.  keep-alive isn't going to do anything with these types of
connections.

well you don't know the length.

add a couple of lines to verify it

in format_mp3.c at the end of function format_mp3_send_headers

Add something like

ock_write(client->con->sock, "Cache-Control: no-cache\r\n");

and whatever else.
