Secure Streaming via HTTPS

One feature that vibestreamer needs is a secure connection via HTTPS. I understand that an https mode would slow the server down, but it would be very handy for those of us trying to listen to our tunes behind networks that attempt to block the downloads. (Many IT departments do this)

Wouldn't tunneling be a better option in that case?
(I'm just guessing)

It probably would, but I bet the IT department has blocked port 22 and tunnelling over 80 is trickier.

You could, however buy a music playing device (iPod/Zen) and accept that network admins block traffic for a reason.

That said, HTTPS for securing login passwords would be nice.

Use sTunnel[/urlwwyqbz6h] simple to configure.

edit the .conf file

comment out everything (using ; at the beginning of the line)

uncomment the [https] section

accept port is the port that's forwarded from your firewall/router
connect port is the port that vibestreamer is running on.

I was messing around with this with the new uTorrent webui, but haven't gotten it to work.

Theres alwyas a way around. Use TCPview and look for the proxy then use a tunnel but conenct through the proxy. We did it at school. Its ace.

My sincerest advice... don't go meddling with tunnelling and exploiting proxies as I've heard of people being walked out for far less.

What do you mean?

and we would've made it... if it wasn't for you and those meddling kids.

Rokay!

I mean losing their jobs because they were breaking corporate/job computer usage agreements.
