Icecast - Mar 2005 - URL format for Icecast2 metadata updates

Hi,

What's the URL format for Icecast2 metadata updates?  I thought this info 
would be in the source docs somewhere but apparently not.  I've got a 
client which lacks Icecast2 native metadata updates and even for a C hack 
like myself, this should be pretty easy to add given the shoutcast code 
that already exists in there.  I just need the format.

Geoff.

Using the newest version of icecast2 you can update the metadata from the 
web interface.

Otherwise it is.

http://IP:PORT/admin/metadata?mount=/MOUNTPOINT&mode=updinfo&song=METADATAYOUWANTTOUPDATE

You can also do http://login:pass@IP:port   but not in windows as it doesn't
allow logins in urls anymore.

Wouldn't that require the admin password?  Surely there's a way of doing
it
which only requires the source password, heck there must be since 
streamTranscoder is sending in metadata updates nicely without needing the 
admin pw.
