on_publish basic http authication

[ghost]

Is it possible to use basic auth to secure a user publishing to the server?

I attempted to use on_publish to send to http://localhost/auth, then set basic auth using a htpasswd file for that location. I can login via a web browser ok.

I am using Wirecast and can publish fine when not using auth, however when I attempt the on_publish above, wirecast is not sending any passwords through. I believe it uses adobe method of authentication??

http{ server { location /auth { root /webroot; auth_basic "Restricted"; auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/auth/.htpasswd; index index.html; } } }

rtmp { server {

            listen 1935;
            chunk_size 4000;
            notify_method get;

            application mytv {                    
                    live on;
                    on_publish http://localhost/auth;
            }            
    }

}

Cheers,

I think Wirecast uses Adobe authentication which is not supported by nginx-rtmp.
