sighttpd 1.1.0
==============

Sighttpd is an HTTP streaming server designed for distributing realtime
input. It is particularly useful for making camera streams available to
multiple clients, and has been designed for embedded systems use.

This release is available as a source tarball from:

        http://www.kfish.org/software/sighttpd/

New in this release
===================

This release adds a module for streaming Ogg Vorbis from standard input.

Raw Ogg data cannot be streamed from standard input using <Stdin>, as an Ogg
stream needs to have setup headers prepended for each codec stream. For this
purpose a special module called <OggStdin> is provided, which buffers these
headers and serves them first to each client that connects before continuing
with live Ogg pages.

The sighttpd.conf setup is similar to the normal <Stdin> configuration:

-----
Listen 3000

# Streaming Ogg Vorbis from stdin, using the special
# OggStdin module that caches Ogg Vorbis headers
<OggStdin>
	Path "/stream.ogg"
	Type "audio/ogg"
</OggStdin>
-----

You can run this with a shell pipeline like:

    $ arecord -c 2 -r 44100 -f S16_LE -t wav | oggenc -o - - |
sighttpd -f examples/sighttpd-oggstdin.conf

And you can connect to it as an Ogg stream, eg:

    $ ogg123 http://localhost:3000/stream.ogg
