On the one hand, many firewalls block RSTP; on the other hand I don't know that any streaming media clients do UDP with anything other than RSTP, so while streaming over HTTP-UDP to bypass firewalls makes sense, it's pretty uncommon, and not sure how much support clients will have. Of course, it might make sense to make an RSTP protocol module for Apache :-) Issac --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
