Re: Send admin kill request to server

Hi everybody,



finally I found a solution!



First, Icecast requires a Basic Authorization, which has to provide via a
header.
But this can't be done via JavaScript or JQuery, due the security features
of the browsers.

For more detail information see
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75463305/difference-basic-authorization-
between-postman-and-jquery-ajax/75493285#75493285.



Thanks for help,

HGA

Hi Fred,



I am understand the requirements already a little bit better.

What I have to Do is a HTTP GET with a Basic Authorization in the header. I
have tested it with 'Postman' and it works fine with Icecast.

But I have to do it with Javascript or JQuery. Therefore curl doesn't help
me.



I try to use Ajax for that, but something goes wrong.
If I do it without Autorization, I got a return message which says
'Authentication required'.

If I enable the Autorization it tells me only readyState: 0.



If I will find a solution, I will post it here.



Cheers

This is an example of the Icecast documentation for kill a client.
And this is a HTTP GET, which is send to the Icecast server.
You also wrote, that there are no user and pass for an API.

What I have to know, what does the Icecast server expect?
If there is no user and pass, how the server knows, that is a valid request.



You should be able to send this with proper HTTP authentication parameters
by using CURL. Something like:



            curl -u admin:hackme
http://192.168.1.10:8000/admin/killclient?mount=/mystream.ogg
<http://192.168.1.10:8000/admin/killclient?mount=/mystream.ogg&id=21> &id=21



This is different from encoding the parameters as if they were part of an
HTML form.



Cheers!
