Hello,
The ices protocol is based on HTTP and is used for online streaming. In the
early days the specification for this protocol was to use
1 GET /serv/login.php?lang=en&profile=2 *ICE*/1.0
2 Host: www.mydomain.com
3 User-agent: my small browser
4 Accept: image/jpeg, image/gif
5 Accept: image/png
As you can see, the bolded part is the only difference between this and
HTTP. I guess the designer realized this was a bone headed move and almost
every modern icecast client today uses HTTP in its request header. However
I need it to work for older clients as well.
My question is, how can I get haproxy to accept this protocol? "option
accept-invalid-http-request" doesn't seem to be what I want, and I tried
using "mode tcp" until I realized I couldn't because my config file uses
use_backend <backend> if <condition> (which requires mode http).
My config file is fairly simple if this helps:
frontend http-in-8001
bind *:8001
acl martin11_master_acl url -i /martin11_master
use_backend martin11_master if martin11_master_acl
backend martin11_master
#mode tcp
server martin11_master 192.168.1.147:8002
