Re: How to use http-put for JavaScript source client

Thanks so much for the comprehensive response Romain. It sounds like you
are working hard getting this working with audio streams and it's a lot
more complicated than I had originally hoped.

I'm still curious about the proper syntax of the http put command though
(and I'm sure others would be interested as well). Is there any
documentation on the parameters to send?

I also had a (probably naive) question about your approach...

I'm curious why encoding speed on the browser is an issue. If you are
sending the data to a nodejs app on a server, why not have the nodejs
app doing any additional encoding necessary?
