Doja devices (NTT Mobile Phones) are very limited in their connectivity capabilities and was wondering if icecast can help me overcome them. The first limitation is that they only support HTTP that as I can see would not be a problem with icecast. The second limitation is that these Doja devices cannot transfer more than 150KB of data per HTTP connection so I can not simply establish one connection to the streaming server (keep-alive) and download all the stream. So the question is if icecast supports some sort of burst mode were I can establish connections in sequence and download pieces of the stream each time. I saw some burst related options in the configuration file but looks like is only for connection establishment and after that we get a continuous stream of data. If someone knows a streaming server that can send data in bursts of specific size I would greatly appreciate the information. thanks, -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But it would need a special piece of software on the device to make those requests. icecast certainly will not do what you want. Cheers Thomas
Hi, The difficult part would be the whole connecting in sequence bit. Icecast would need to know which bit of the stream the client wanted next. This would be touch for a live stream.

Hi, Actually, I thought that Icecast did support seeking for static files. Of course it doesn't for a live stream. Geoff. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas B.
