I don't want to use RTSP or other streaming protocols(which is not on HTTP), because I am trying to make a case that streaming over HTTP can be useful. This is purely for experimental basis. Sorry, I should have made it clear before. Playing the devil's advocate here: > > On the one hand, many firewalls block RSTP; on the other hand I don't > know that any streaming media clients do UDP with anything other than > RSTP, so while streaming over HTTP-UDP to bypass firewalls makes sense, This is exactly one of the reason why I want to experiment. Also using RTSP requires maintaining another server, which is not necessarily required if we can plug-in custom protocols into apache. This with other ideas I have for custom protocols, I want to see If I can provide better QoS to Users. it's pretty uncommon, and not sure how much support clients will have. > Of course, it might make sense to make an RSTP protocol module for > Apache :-) > > Issac Yes, I am aware that clients doesn't support Streaming video - HTTP-UDP for streaming. I will start with some simple benchmarks and If it is benefical, I might modify a client to do that. Issac, I would like to patch apache with UDP. Please send me patches, will apply and email you if I run to issues. thanks, -GV --------------------------------------------------------------------- > The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project. > See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info. > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > " from the digest: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >
