Thank you Richard.
The “Origin Server” is used by multiple web servers as the store for content. The Origin server implements a security mechanism where it needs the access_token which is a part of the cookie. It is not possible to change the Origin server security implementation. But what I could do is to implement the security mechanism as a Wowza module. This way I can implement the security mechanism in “onHTTPSessionCreate”. If the authentications fails then I can reject the HTTP request else Wowza will pass the request to the origin Server. We can configure the origin server to skip the security check for some known source IP’s.
On Wireshark I find that the HTTP request arriving at Wowza:1935 has the cookies and query string. I assume I sill have access to these in “onHTTPSessionCreate” call back. Is this correct?
I am new to Java and using Eclipse IDE for the first time, the task is overwhelming. Is there a tutorial which describes how I could create a custom module and create a Jar file out of it. Essentially how would I create Custom modules without using Wowza IDE.
Thanks.
