[Icecast-dev] patch for icecast-2.2.0 to add client maxtime
Hi, sorry I forgot to mention:> Siegfried, > This sounds good, and I will be trying it. I just wondered could this > timer be applied per connection or is it global per mount point ( > sorry havent had chance to look at the diff yet ).I tried to add the code so that it also could be defined per mount point but I didn't test this out. But of course this makes much more sense than just a global definition. If someone tries this please report.> Also, which maybe something beyond your original idea, there is the > per connecion authentication system ( see archives ) and wondered if > that could pass back a tag and the timer ?I don't use this feature and don't know anything about it but I think surely one can add such a thing but not me ;-)> Sorry to come at you ... just been looking for this for some time. > > regards, > > Andrew. > > On Mon, 17 Jan 2005, Siegfried Wagner wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I wrote a little patch for the stable version (also works for the svn >> version) to add a new configuration parameter called >> "client_maxtime". >> With this you can set a maximum connection time limit for a connected >> client so that you can disallow continuous listening. >> When the listening time exceeds the client connection will >> automatically be dropped. >> By default this feature is disabled (set to 0). >>
