I agree that the Shoutcast protocol concocted by Nullsoft and by several
media players is more of an ugly trick from a protocol perspective. If
anyone has a better suggestion for a streaming protocol (RTSP or RTP?)
which is supported by the mentioned mediaplayers I am open for the
suggestion. Proba
an HTTP request, requires an HTTP response, regardless of what the
headers are set to.
proxies and other things that come in the middle would be confused, or
even reject the response if something else came in between.
I'd be surprised if anyone here would be interested in making that
modificatio
