linux: http request don't work. rtsp works fine

[gerbrand@…]

Hi,

I use DSS mostly for automatic unicast live broadcasts, using wirecast as encoder and DSS (so far 5.5.5) on an Ubuntu server.

I have now installed DSS 6.0.3 on a seperate ubuntu 8.04 box. For some reason, rtsp urls to the streams work fine, but http urls to the same stream (using sdp) don't work on this DSS 6.0.3 installation.

I have added port 80 to the list of ports in streamingserver.xml. I've also tried  http://....:514/file.sdp and other ports.

Any suggestions? Gerbrand

examples:

 rtsp://darwinlive.debalie.engagetv.com/sample_300kbit.mov works fine but  http://darwinlive.debalie.engagetv.com/sample_300kbit.mov gives nothing (not even an error) in quicktime player

but it does work on my DSS 5.5.5:  http://darwin02.engagetv.com/sample_300kbit.mov

i can also telnet to port 80 of the streaming server:

gerbrand@balielive:~$ telnet darwinlive.debalie.engagetv.com 80
Trying 82.94.213.26...
Connected to darwinlive.debalie.engagetv.com.

I can verify that HTTP streaming does *not* work. The headers appear to be valid, and the port is available with no conflicting services (Apache, etc.). This is with the latest patches to get DSS to build on Linux (ticket #6).

Sorry, In my environment, the patches under ticket #6 work well.
