Icecast - Sep 2006 - URL authentication

Does your instance of icecast have CURL support compiled in? Without it 
authentication doesn't work I think. Furthermore, if you're running 
icecast in a chroot jail then you need to make sure the curl shared 
libraries are installed in the chroot jail as well.

Thanks for the pointer - CURL was indeed compiled in, but the library  
version was too old. Upgrading CURL fixed it very nicely!

Hello Peter,
Is there possibility that you post your php script for icecast authentication,
so that it would be easier or person like me who are not php programmer to
create our own script (changing request for sql database...). I think there is a
big part which would be the same (get info form icecast and send back the
authorization at the end)

Thank you,
