hey ho!
more and more organisations are having IT managers who are completely
bonkers and who, for example, blocking all outgoing connections but to ports
80 and 443 as if you can squeeze the whole world through that.
what does that mean for users who are about not only to scroll stupid
content but also about to stream something to a liquidsoap server?
bad news actually, as rarely do we find a server with http(s) ports unused
and open to other tasks than serving some web pages...
so i tried to work around with making a reverse proxy on apache httpd. it
listens on port 80 and serves web pages, but for one virtual domain i made a
proxypass to a liquidsoap engine that sits on other port.
in the logs i can see that initial connection happens and even metadata
chunk comes through, but then, perhaps due to being non-http compliant
stream, that stream of data confuses http server and chunks of it appear in
main (other) domain's access log as unrecognised requests with pieces of
what seems like audio data.
of course, liquidsoap times out that connection with an error and nothing
plays.
have any of YOU came across such barrier and managed a workaround?
i've heard there is a stupid web browser called google chrome and it doesn't
play music anymore if it doesn't come encrypted and also from https port.
for that one i managed to make apache httpd to ssl-encrypt and reverse-proxy
local icecast server with no problems - it sings!
however, vice versa - streamer to receiver - proxying didn't work out...
regards,
p
