Hi! I felt the need for the possibility of being able to spontaneously access my slimserver music files from almost any computer with internet access. - And I wanted it to be reasonably secure. - And I didn't want to install any additional software on the client computer.
I think some of you will be happy with me sharing my solution. (It is no click-and-install solution - you'll need a little bit of Apache knowledge.) I just added it to the wiki (SeparateAdminAndStream): I have another quite clean solution for an apache setup on my Weblog at http://blog.hanno-stock.de/archives/5 . My solution allows HTTPS access to the web interface and (almost) unrestricted access via HTTP to /stream.mp3. The restriction is that you can only access /stream.mp3 from ip addresses that have successfully logged on to the HTTPS protected interface in the last 30 minutes. Since almost every browser supports HTTPS and almost every MP3 player supports normal HTTP streaming, you can access your music from almost every computer! I use mod_python and a very small script. All request handling and authentication is entirely done by Apache - which should make this a very robust solution.
