Created by: Jeff Hassell on 11-08-2010 04:24:50 AM I am running embedded httpclient 3.1 inside JBoss, accessing TCS API via SOAP/axis2 - all is well until I extract a file URL from a conference, and attempt to download the video using an httpclient GET method - the TCS enforces a JavaScript requirement on the download client, which is difficult to implement in httpclient.
Is there a way to use the WMS or IIS, or alternate publish points/download directories, to store the recorded videos on a server without a Javascript requirement? I am thinking that one of the alternate publish points may be less strict on Javascript requirement - hopefully just Digest auth and straight HTML -
Cheers, jeff

Yeah, that can be difficult...
Automatically downloading from the Content Server is probably best achieved through choosing flash MPEG4 output in your call template. The WatchableMovies array in the result from SOAP function GetConference should give you an unauthenticated URL to download those encoded MPEG4 files.
Any other way and you can run into authentication issues. It gets even worse when you have password protected conferences.

We really need to pull WMV from the TCS programmatically, is there a way to exploit the alternate publish points to get the wmv to be served from the port 8080 Windows Media Server? Or perhaps enable scp or s/ftp on the windows host?
cheers, jeff

Yes, you can get the Windows Media streaming server to serve the file over HTTP. As Jesse says, the API will give you a URL that looks like this: mms://servername/filename.wmv. Change the URL to: http://servername:8080/filename.wmv.
Hope that helps! Ailene
