Title: Port80 Proxy - pass additional parameters to icecast
Post by: gradio on May 08, 2016, 06:08:04 am

Hi all,

I have just activated CC's Port80 Proxy.
Is it somehow possible to pass query parameters to icecast which have been added to the mount "/stream" via the proxy script?
Without the proxy it works just fine...

Example:
http://<SERVER>/proxy/<USERNAME>?mp=/stream&user=1234&secrettoken=5678

Can somebody hint me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Unfortunately no, that's not possible at this time.  In order to map usernames (as in, /proxy/username) to the correct SHOUTcast/IceCast IP:port in realtime, an internal proxy is used to perform that lookup and then instruct nginx to do a redirect to an internal location. 

While passing around a bunch of query variables would be possible, it'd require a bunch more code and effort to do it safely and wasn't deemed to be worth the effort given how few clients would use it.  You're welcome to post a feature request though, in case we underestimated demand for this.
