Using HTTP Tunneling
HTTP tunneling is often used as a means for communicating from network locations with
restricted connectivity, for example behind firewalls or proxy servers. To enable HTTP
tunneling on the VOD-W you must specify the port that will be used for tunneling and the
maximum number of tunneled streams allowed. HTTP tunneling must be configured on both the
VOD-W Server and on the Portal Server.
T To configure for HTTP tunneling on the VOD-W Server
1. In the Configuration Utility, go to the
QVOD
tab and check
Support HTTP Tunneling
using port
.
2. Configure the tunneling port on the VOD-W. Default = 8000. In typical application, port
80 is used for HTTP tunneling. By default, the Portal Server and the VOD-W
communicate over port 80. Therefore if you select port 80 as the tunneling port you
must also reconfigure the web service communications port (see Changing the Web
Service Communication Port on page 20).
3. Click on the
VbPortal
tab and configure the maximum number of tunneled streams.
VBrick recommends a maximum of 50 streams for all servers.
T To configure for HTTP tunneling on the Portal Server
1. Open the Portal Server Admin console, go to
Global Settings > Servers > Add/Modify
VoD/FTP Servers
, and select the VOD-W server you wish to configure.
2. Configure the same
HTTP Tunneling Port
(see screenshot below) used on the VOD-W.
Default = 8000. This port must match the port configured in Step 2 above.
3. Check
