https issues?

Hi there,

I've setup a website using https for access from the outside, no other access is through the firewall.

When accessing from the outside I can't view streaming video, its not a bandwidth issue, I get no pictures at all.

When trying on the loca lan is works. Hmmm I thought. So I removed the standard port 80 from my website, and tried again. Bingo, it failed. It appears that even though I'm accessing it via a https access (port 443) it still talks on port 80 for something for the stream, as if I turn port 80 back on (std http traffic) it works AOK!

Anyone using this correctly with https only?

Otherwise a great product!!!

PS Using 1.19.1 haven't updated to .2 yet.

Hi Andrew,

What method are you using for streaming? I don't think mpjpeg streaming should care what port it is on, whether native in Mozilla etc or using Cambozola. However if you are using the mpeg streaming I notice that in the object tags used to embed the media player there are some references to 'http:' address at microsoft.com so it might be calling out to these to load the player.

Phil,

Hi Phil,

Just checked the config and its using JPEG streaming....Should that effect it??

I'll try it on MPEG and see what happens from there.

JPEG streaming should be fine. It will just send an image in response to a request so should not need to invoke any other connection or port.

It should be fairly easy to get the URL from the streaming window source and knock up a test page with just that on to see what exactly does and doesn't work.

There's nothing special you have to do to allow cgi programs to run under https is there?

Actually it might be worth checking with Mozilla if you haven't already as if you are using Cambozola it may not be able to talk SSL.
