Hello,
I am trying to use the secure streaming module with Apache 2.x.
What I have done:
-----------------
I have installed the mod_auth_token module for Apache 2.x and properly updated the httpd.conf file to load the mod_auth_token.so and use the appropriate Location directive to point to my desired directory on the server.
Note that the mod_auth_token module is supposed to perform the same secure authentication as the lighty module noted in the plugin page.
What I have tested:
-------------------
* Server seems to allow direct access to files/urls in the folder I've told it to protect
* Server seems not to interpret the tokenized/temporary urls - returns 404 errors - page not found.
* I see the same behavior even if I disable the pseudostreaming module (which actually gives me hope that this is an independent problem, and perhaps they can live happily together)
* I was careful to use the correct hashes and syntax for the urls in all cases, including using "/filename.mp4" and not just "filename.mp4".
Concerns:
-----
* I'm also using the h264_streaming_module for pseudostreaming. I have a ache in my side wondering if Apache is somehow passing the url/file request off to that module first (apparently the module execution order cannot be determined from outside apache even via configuration) and maybe it's never seeing the mod_auth_token module.
* I'm also wondering how things will be passed or accessed from module to module since I believe the pseudostreaming plugin is sending seek/jump-point information which in the case or a GET request could affect the url... not sure if it's using POST or GET.
In short, all the strings *seem* to be tied but still no luck.
Any ideas out there?
Hoping someone out there has solved this problem!
Thanks ahead of time for any thoughts!
