http and https

[dbosso]

I just figured out why my streaming was mostly broken after upgrading from 1.21.0 to 1.21.3.

I've got a permanent redirect in apache for the http vhost of my zoneminder install going to https. This seems to work fine, but for some reason zoneminder creates all the streaming links with http URLs which then fail. I've adjusted apache settings so that cgi-bin is not redirected to https and things are working.

Was something changed between 1.21.0 and 1.21.3 that would account for this?

I will check this. I think someone reported an issue with using WMP which failed to find the stream unless it was a full url, so I may have added that on. I'll make it configurable in the next release if it's going to cause problems.

Thanks. What you probalby want is a preference for a base url for zoneminder. Then you can also handle the non-standard port case.

Until the next version you can fix this by editing zm_funcs.php

Code: Select all

$stream_src = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].ZM_PATH_ZMS;

and change the http:// to https://

Or you can make it so that the script is a bit smarter and able to handle both:

This one usualy works the best.

Code: Select all

if ( isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) && $_SERVER["HTTPS"] == 'on' ) {
     $PROTOCOL = 'https';
} else {
     $PROTOCOL = 'http';
}
$sream_src = $PROTOCOL . '://' .$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].ZM_PATH_ZMS;

or another way might be (and my pesonal favorite):

Code: Select all

if ( isset($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"]))
{
     list($PROTOCOL, $version) = explode('/', $_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"]);
}
$sream_src = $PROTOCOL . '://' .$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].ZM_PATH_ZMS;

But this last one may give you mixed protocols

Added to bug list. I'll put something in the next release.

Ideally would be create a variable in zm_config.php ( Might be there but I haven't looked yet) for

Code: Select all

if ( isset($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) && $_SERVER["HTTPS"] == 'on' ) {
     $PROTOCOL = 'https';
} else {
     $PROTOCOL = 'http';
}
define('ZM_URL', $PROTOCOL . '://' .$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']); 

Then use this variable in zm_funcs.php
