[icecast-dev] Can't listen to a stream from icecast-kh

[Iceuse - Kris]

Hello
When I replace ICY 200 by HTTP 200 then :
- wget works
- videolan VLC works (i thing its bad to send headers that it doesn't 
understand as it is one of the few crossplateform ogg players)

So, I suggest, either to put something in the code to handle a different 
response header per stream type, or to put something in the config file 
(but then icecast admin have to bother with that)
Or, keep as it is if it makes sense (I don't know the importance of 
having or not ICY) and then, see with videloan.org to update their player.

One more question : is having ICY instead of HTTP helping firewalls to 
drop these musical packets ? Because with HTTP, it cannot make the 
difference I think (not sure at all, just a question)

<p>What do you think about that?
