[Icecast] Send admin kill request to server

[HGAlt]

Good afternoon Philipp and everyone,

I am a little bit confused!

http://192.168.1.10:8000/admin/killclient?mount=/mystream.ogg&id=21

This is an example of the Icecast documentation for kill a client.
And this is a HTTP GET, which is send to the Icecast server.
You also wrote, that there are no user and pass for an API.

What I have to know, what does the Icecast server expect?
If there is no user and pass, how the server knows, that is a valid request.

I also figured out, that I got a network error, if I address the server with his full URL, like  https://www.server.xy, when I use localhost or the local IP like 10.0.0.x, I got a normal error without any addition description.

So I believe, that I first have to understand, what I have to send to the server and how the Icecast server understand, that it has to execute this API!
As long it is not clear to me, I don't know what to do.
The software is written by myself and therefore I can control it.

Kind regards,
HGA

the access log should always have an entry. If it doesn't something is wrong.

In the good case the first request is rejected (with a 401), and then the client will do all other requests authed (mostly 2xx status codes).

That depends on the client you use. Without knowing that nobody can answer that. It should be in the documentation of the software you use to make the request.

This has nothing to do with the listen sockets.

In the documentation of the software you use to make the API request.

I don't think this is in any way related to Icecast's config at this point.


With best regards,
