@ph3-der-loewe over at #2223 suggests that this is a problem on aurora.js side
@ph3-der-loewe
Seems that "aurora.js" uses HEAD to get the total length in bytes of the resource and then does GET requests on chunks. This is totally wrong to begin with:
- It MUST NOT assume that HEAD and any later GET requests to the same URI will result in the same object. At least ETags must be checked.
- It MUST NOT assume that the length is known to the server and that the length is finite.
- It SHOULD (read: MUST) use the Content-Range:-reply-header to find out about the length if at all (the header MAY return "*" for unknown length).
- HEAD requests MAY omit content related headers at will.
- Chunking like this seems to be a very strange thing to do. I hardly see any reason for this.
So: Even if we would provide HEAD support, this would not solve the referenced problem as the problem is the application 0) miss-implementing HTTP, 1) does not support infinite resources AKA streams anyway. From what I have seen in the code I would guess that a perfectly HTTP conforming server can also break it in other ways. @tbr I would suggest to close this ticket for now as this seems to be related more to the original problem than to HEAD support. Also considering that for a month nobody came up with a reason why HEAD is needed. If HEAD support is a goal I would like to have a "fresh" and "clean" ticket for it (including a reason why it is needed).
Hi,
I'm tring to play ICECast ctream with jPlayer and Aurora. I'm including following files
aurora.js ogg.js vorbis.js
jPlayer is configured to use aurora
solution: "aurora", auroraFormats: "oga"
But I have following errors in my console
In my ICECast2 log I have following entries
[2015-07-20 17:56:03] EROR connection/_handle_connection Wrong request type from client [2015-07-20 17:56:29] INFO format-vorbis/initial_vorbis_page seen initial vorbis header [2015-07-20 17:56:46] EROR connection/_handle_connection Wrong request type from client [2015-07-20 17:56:58] EROR connection/_handle_connection Wrong request type from client [2015-07-20 17:57:05] INFO source/source_main listener count on /source now 1 [2015-07-20 17:57:06] INFO source/source_main listener count on /source now 0 [2015-07-20 17:57:46] EROR connection/_handle_connection Wrong request type from client
So ICECast2 does not support HEAD requests.
So how I can get aurora decoder working without initital HEAD request?
