[Icecast] both ssl and non-ssl stream on the same socket

[A. Craig West]

There is a discussion of this problem at:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22453782/nodejs-http-and-https-over-same-port
Some of the solutions depend on the clients honouring redirects (301
status code). Essentially, they boil down to running an http and https
server on two separate ports, and a simple service on your original
port which checks the first byte of the connection. If it is 22, it is
an SSL connection, and is redirected to the https port, if it is not
22, it is redirected to the http port. If for some reason a redirect
doesn't work, it would also be possible to forward the connection to
the appropriate port inside this service, but that would have more
system overhead.
The solutions there are generally based on using node.js on the server
to implement the redirector, but it could be done in almost any
language that supports sockets...
