Icecast - Nov 2014 - Socket to Icecast

I am working on a project where I am reading data from a radio then encoding it
to mp3. I would like to then send this encoded data to Icecast for streaming, is
all I need to do is create a tcp connection to the icecast socket and then start
sending the encoded buffer?

It's a bit more than that. Probably the easiest way for you is to look
at integrating libShout into your project. It handles all the specifics.
Or in case of Icecast 2.4.x, implement HTTP PUT.

We're currently working on updated documentation about Icecast source
connections. You'll find it on http://icecast.org soon.

Thomas,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I updated my code to use
cURL for sending the mp3 encoded audio to http://localhost:8001/test_stream.
What should I put in my icecast configuration file to properly receive the
stream?

This example of using cURL for HTTP PUT operations was very helpful in case
anyone else is interested.
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/httpput.html

thanks again,

Jeremy
