Many thanks for the helpful replies.

Please see below.

Doesn't yet work for me.

I've tried this from the CLI and it just returns me to a cursor thus:

[root at example ~]# lynx -auth user:password
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/killsource.xsl?mount=/example.mp3

Same using curl and wget, for example:

[root at example ~]# curl
http://user:password@127.0.0.1:8000/admin/killsource.xsl?mount=/example.mp3

Good point.

Yes, I am having success with iptables - I have effectively solved my
problem this way but for curiosity's sake I am interested in using
lynx/curl/wget.

Good point but I'm trying to avoid restarting Icecast and dropping all
other active connections - and I presume "killall -HUP icecast" will
_not_ drop the unwanted mountpoint.
