Icecast Streaming Media Server

Is SSL a part of the future release plans? Would like to stream MP3 files to a player through https://ms/audio.mp3...

The ability to specify an ssl socket is part of the trunk code now. It's not documented yet but just mark <ssl>1</ssl> in the <listen-socket> and <ssl-certificate>/file.pem</ssl-certificate> in <paths>. Obviously whether the client handles ssl is another matter.

Ok, cool! Thanks.

I used the OpenSSL tools to create a private key file (openssl genrsa -out privkey.pem 2048).

Then created a certificate file from that (openssl req -new -x509 -key privkey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 1095).

Put the cacert.pem in the <paths> for the <ssl-certificate> - got invalid private key file error. Put the privkey.pem file in the <paths> for the <ssl-certificate> - got invalid cert file error.

Any help would be fabulous

Thanks,
David

Either combine the 2 files you generated or create them with something like
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -days 365 -nodes -x509 -keyout sample.pem -out sample.pem
