New HTTP Streaming Functionality

Users may either click the Auto Configure button in the Streaming Transport control panel or select between UDP or HTTP.

The Streaming Proxy control panel, shown in Figure 2, has been modified to support HTTP as another transport option. The user is now able to specify an optional HTTP proxy to be used.

The Auto Configure button, if unable to make a successful test connection, reverts to trying HTTP. As with RTSP proxies, if an HTTP proxy is required, the user will have to enter that information by hand.

With that setting in the Control Panel, streaming movies work using HTTP as a transport without requiring any further changes from the user.
