Squid and flashaudio

[Giorgio Pioda]

Hi,

at school we are developing a BBB server on EC2 to have videoconference.

Now we register the strange behaviour of squid on tjener, that tries to
cache and block port 5066 (flashaudio). Any idea? Quickfix? Is it possible
to put in wpad.dat a list of domains or ports that have direct access
without proxy activity?

Regards

Giorgio

I believe th cause are these statements in /etc/squid/squid.conf:

acl SSL_ports port 443
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports

This specify that only port 443 is allowed when using the CONNECT
statement, which is used by SSL but also by non-HTTP protocols. Try adding

acl SSL_ports port 5066

and see if things improve.

It is a videoconference server (BigBlueButton) with videorecording ability.

Thanks for the tip. I'll test it immediately

Aha. I had a look at <URL: http://bigbluebutton.org/ > and it look
quite nice. Which video codecs are used and will it work without
flash or other browser plugins?

Hi,

at the moment it is flash dependent; JRE is also needed, especially
for desktop sharing. Codecs AFAIK is flv standard, but
H264 can be activated. Audio is flashaudio, or the upcoming WebRTC.
