Control whether Wowza Streaming Engine appends the streaming session ID to encryption URLs in chunklist responses

By default, Wowza Streaming Engine™ media server software appends the streaming session ID to encryption URLs in chunklist responses. Some content protection technologies, such as Apple FairPlay Streaming (FPS), may not work properly with this default setting. You can set the cupertinoAppendQueryParamsToEncUrl property to instruct Wowza Streaming Engine to not append the session ID, if needed.
