RE: What does mod_mp3 do?

Mod_mp3 handles the shout protocol for sending the stream.
Apache isn't smart enough to do this on its own.
However, as you noticed, Apache is smart enough (with mod_mime) to send
to correct mime type, based on the .MP3 file extension. In the later
case there is no shout protocol in effect, and the two data streams
would look different when under analysis.

Subject: [Mod_mp3] What does mod_mp3 do?


Hi,

I've been fooling around a bit with mod_mp3 and am now confused. So this
may be a stupid question, be warned! 

What does mod_mp3 do exactly when somebody clicks on a url like:
http://servername/?op=play&song=<md5(filename)>
Is it any different from clicking on http://servername/filename.mp3 
when apache knows about the mime-type of a file with suffix .mp3 (so
without any mod_mp3 interference)?

It seems that in both situations apache sends something with
content-type: audio/mpeg...

Thanx,

Tim
