I'm sorry, but I don't understand your problem here :)  The sample
URLs in the videochat all start with "rtmp://" so that should make
clear that it refers to the RTMP protocol.

Hmm, it's pretty unlikely that you'll get anything back from Red5 when
connecting with a browser to the RTMP port.  Red5 only starts processing
your request after a valid handshake has been sent - and that is
something your browser won't do.

...and of course Red5 doesn't break when an exception occurs!

However if you get a traceback and think that it's an error, please
enter a ticket in Trac at

and we will take care of it.

Well, as somebody else postet to the list, the RTMP protocol is
documented on the osflash.org website and if you have any improvements
to Red5 we happily accept patches! ;)
