Hello, Is HTTP basic authentication the only way for icecast to perform authentication ? With a link like http://username:[email protected]:8000/mystream (HTTP basic authentication) it has a number of problems regarding browsers. Chrome for security reasons does not follow the link and shows a popup asking to enter the credentials but this destroys user experience for a site with a webplayer. It works fine afterwards. Internet Explorer does the same. It would be ideal if icecast would get the credentials from the GET parameters, something similar to http://example.com:8000/mystream?user=username&pass=password this would eliminate the browser problems with the basic auth. I am willing to implement something like this as it seems relatively simple. _______________________________________________ Icecast-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/icecast-dev
