Problem with a WM link

Hi,

We have a radio link namely:

http://b1.mediayou.net/cgi-bin/mmsurl_hinet?id=228

When I try it in Real Player for Windows, it asks to download a file. 
The file is actually a asx file with 2 mms links, the first link plays 
while another don't.
While I try to play the first link using original *mms* scheme, it 
doesn't gets played.

When I try the link with *httpt*, it gives an error as HXR_NET_CONNECT.
During debugging, I found that inside 
CHttpClient::ParseDescribeResponse() in httpclient.cpp, when we reach to 
the point around line no. 262:

    // Process the packet's data.
    {
        CComPtr<INSSBuffer> pSingleBody;
        DWORD dwLength;
        BYTE * pbDest;
        IWMSPacket * pBody = pResponse->PBody();
        CHECKNULL_RET(pBody, E_INVALIDARG);

This pResponse is actually gets here from 
CASFFileFormatNet::OnDescribe(IAsyncResult* pResult). And here 
pResult->m_presponse->m_Pbody is already NULL. I don't know why it is 
coming as NULL here as i try to debug but call stack was leading to nowhere.

In the above piece of code, when we get *pBody* as NULL , 
ParseDescribeResponse() returns result as E_INVALIDARG. This error gets 
propagated further and in CASFFileFormatNet::OnDescribe() in 
asf_file_format_net.cpp around line no 1140.

HRESULT hr = m_pNetClient->EndDescribe(pResult, 
&m_pPresentationDescription);      
if ( SUCCEEDED(hr) &&
             m_pPresentationDescription &&
             (m_pPresentationDescription->m_hr == NS_E_REDIRECT) )
        {
            // Post a message to the thread
            HXThreadMessage msg(HXMSG_WMNET_REDIRECT, (void*) hr, NULL);
            ProcessMsg(&msg);
        }
else   
        {
            // Post a message to the thread
            HXThreadMessage msg(HXMSG_WMNET_END_DESCRIBE, (void*) hr, NULL);
            ProcessMsg(&msg);
        }   

Above hr don't gets succeeded so it goes to else and 
HXMSG_WMNET_END_DESCRIBE message is being sent. Now when it receives the 
message in CASFFileFormatNet::ThreadFunc() in asf_file_format_net.cpp

            while (!bDone)
            {
                // We communicate with this thread via messages. So here 
we wait on messages.
                // We don't filter messages in the GetMessage() call.
                HXThreadMessage msg;
                retVal = m_pThread->GetMessage(&msg, 0, 0);    *<---- 
Here msg gets the values

*and it goes to case HXMSG_WMNET_END_DESCRIBE and gets failed inside 
function CASFFileFormatNet::ThreadHandleEndDescribe()
because

HRESULT hr = (HRESULT) pMsg->m_pParam1;  *<----- hr comes out to be non-zero

*and therefore error is returned back using the function

                // Map the WM error to a Helix error
                retVal = MapWMToHelixErrorCode(hr);


Now below are the wire shark logs taken while playing the mms link in 
the Windows Media Player.
The Logs contained two request/responses that we get in wireshark when 
the link is played in WMP. The link plays fine in WMP.

I am not sure whether we support such type of streams.
Please suggest.

Thanks,
Deepak Jain
