Server usage: ------------- $ ./stp-server Runs on port 8000 by default. Further options can be seen with the --help flag: $ ./stp-server --help Usage with curl: ---------------- Sending a stream (PUT): $ curl -v http://localhost:8000/somepath -T - < [some video file] Optionally, rate limit the stream to emulate a live stream (--limit-rate) Trying to create two streams on the same path will return a 409. Reading the webm output stream (GET): $ curl -v http://localhost:8000/somepath > [some output file] The server supports multiple PUT requests on different paths, and multiple GET requests from these paths. Usage with souphttpclientsink: ------------------------------ /* TODO */ Known bugs: ----------- * Doing a massive PUT in a single go (say, 300-400MB or more) of a webm file causes the server to become overwhelmed. This problem doesn't happen for non-webm file dumps. Note however, that the usual mode of operation using live streams, where this will never happen. * Opening multiple GET streams from the same PUT stream works, but clients other than the first one might timeout due to a bug that is being investigated. * There are no queue size limit handling for PUT streams, and hence the server can take a lot of memory if the PUT stream is sending data faster than it can be encoded. In most circumstances, this is actually a feature. :-)
