Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: icecast2

This is a followup on Bug 247123 about Icecast 2.3.1 on Ubuntu Hardy.

Icecast2 should respond properly to a HTTP HEAD request, sending the
header as if the request was not HEAD but GET.
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-9.4)

Icecast2 running on my machine fails as follows:

$ curl --head http://localhost:8000/vangelis.ogg
HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/html

Streaming vangelis.ogg via --get works fine. The stream can be played
perfectly e.g. with mplayer.

Since Rhythmbox uses HEAD requests on Podcasts, all Podcasts served by
Icecast2 (try those: http://dir.xiph.org/) cannot be downloaded by and
listened to with Rhythmbox.
