HTTP callback events

SRS can call the http callback, for events:

Event	Data	Description
on_connect	{ "action": "on_connect", "client_id": 1985, "ip": "192.168.1.10", "vhost": "video.test.com", "app": "live", "tcUrl": "rtmp://x/x?key=xxx", "pageUrl": "http://x/x.html" }	When a client connects to the specified vhost and app.
on_close	{ "action": "on_close", "client_id": 1985, "ip": "192.168.1.10", "vhost": "video.test.com", "app": "live" }	When a client closes a connection, or the server drops a connection.
on_publish	{ "action": "on_publish", "client_id": 1985, "ip": "192.168.1.10", "vhost": "video.test.com", "app": "live", "stream": "livestream" }	When a client publishes a stream, for example, using flash or FMLE to publish a stream to the server.
on_unpublish	{ "action": "on_unpublish", "client_id": 1985, "ip": "192.168.1.10", "vhost": "video.test.com", "app": "live", "stream": "livestream" }	When a client stops publishing a stream.
on_play	{ "action": "on_play", "client_id": 1985, "ip": "192.168.1.10", "vhost": "video.test.com", "app": "live", "stream": "livestream" }	When a client starts playing a stream.
on_stop	{ "action": "on_stop", "client_id": 1985, "ip": "192.168.1.10", "vhost": "video.test.com", "app": "live", "stream": "livestream" }	When a client stops playback.

Note:

• Event: When this event occur, callback the specified HTTP url.
• HTTP url: Can be multiple urls, splits by space, SRS will notice all one by one.
• Data: SRS will POST the data to specified HTTP api.
• Return Code: SRS requires the response is an int, indicates the error, 0 is success. SRS will disconnect the connection when response is not 0, or http status is not 200.

Config SRS

For example, when user connect at vhost/app, verify the ip of client:

# the listen ports, split by space.
listen              1935;
vhost __defaultVhost__ {
    http_hooks {
        # whether the http hooks enalbe.
        # default off.
        enabled         on;
        # when client connect to vhost/app, call the hook,
        # the request in the POST data string is a object encode by json:
        #       {
        #           "action": "on_connect",
        #           "client_id": 1985,
        #           "ip": "192.168.1.10", "vhost": "video.test.com", "app": "live",
        #           "tcUrl": "rtmp://video.test.com/live?key=d2fa801d08e3f90ed1e1670e6e52651a",
        #           "pageUrl": "http://www.test.com/live.html"
        #       }
        # if valid, the hook must return HTTP code 200(Stauts OK) and response
        # an int value specifies the error code(0 corresponding to success):
        #       0
        # support multiple api hooks, format:
        #       on_connect http://xxx/api0 http://xxx/api1 http://xxx/apiN
        on_connect      http://127.0.0.1:8085/api/v1/clients;
    }
}

SRS HTTP callback Server

SRS provides a default HTTP callback server, use cherrypy.

To start it: python research/api-server/server.py 8085

Publish and Play

Publish stream to SRS, SRS will call the http callback:
