HTTPIdent2
Configures the server to respond to or reject a special HTTP request from the client before the client attempts to make
a RTMPT connection to Flash Media Server. For a response to be returned, the
HTTPIdent2
function must be enabled.
This function is available when using Flash Player Update 3 or later.
RTMPT (Tunnelled Real-Time Messaging Protocol) can have difficulties working with load balancers. If a single
RTMPT session consists of multiple socket connections, each connection may be sent to any one of many Flash Media
Servers behind load balancers. This causes the session to be split across machines. Using
<HTTPIdent2>
enables Flash
Player to send a special HTTP request before connecting to Flash Media Server.
Attributes
enabled
A Boolean value specifying whether the server responds to a special HTTP identification request before
making a RTMPT connection (
true
) or not (
false
). This feature is enabled by default, even if the
<HTTPIdent2>
tag
or the
enabled
attribute is missing. The IP address can be explicitly configured and does not need to be the IP of the
Flash Media Server machine. (This allows RTMPT connections to be redirected to a different server.) If the tag is left
empty, the IP address is determined automatically.
If you are running Flash Media Server on Linux and have enabled IPv6 but are using an IPv4 hostname (a hostname
that resolves to IPv4), then use this tag to resolve RTMPTE and RTMPE connections more quickly: either set the
enabled attribute to
false
or set it to
true
and set the value of the tag to the IP address to which you’re connecting.
Example
<HTTPIdent2 enabled="true">10.133.128.71</HTTPIdent2>

HTTPNull
Configures the server to respond to or reject an HTTP GET request for the “/” resource from a client. When the
enable
attribute is set to
true
, an HTTP 404 response is sent in response to an HTTP GET request. By default, the
HTTPNull
function is disabled.
If
HTTPNull
is disabled and the webserver is enabled, requests for the "/" resource are passed to the webserver.
Attributes
enable
A Boolean value. The default value is
false
.
