I'm trying to play an audio file using the <Play> verb, but Twilio is making a POST request to retrieve it instead of a GET, and S3 doesn't accept it.
The file is this one
And here's the request and the response on Twilio's console.
Any ideas on how to make this work? Thanks!
My mistake, the issue was on the conference waitUrl, which I fixed by specifying the waitMethod.

User will upload the videos from browser which need to be stored on server and playback. First understanding from google suggest I need to go for HTTP live streaming(HLS) here.
But I am not sure how it works internally ?
There are three components in above workflow i.e. client/server/data store for saving and retrieving videos.
Save flow :
I believe I need to plugin the HLS client for sending the streaming data.
Does Client in itself divide the file into chunks while sending and maintain the chaining of these chunk where each chunks points to next one ? something like this as I believe server is dumb and will work in same fashion as http upload functionality and no other intelligence is required here ?
But not sure how HLS server side component works here i.e. Will it save as single file or single file is split in to multiple files and then saved on disk ?
I believe it store the file as single file like regular http upload file ?
Retrieval part
In normal regular http file download, client asks for file data and server sends the response back in chunks but all response chunks are sent back against the same request.
I believe in case of HLS , its pull based where client initiate the pull request for each stream request. In each chunk pull request client gets the file name of next chunk and send the request to serverthe relevant chunk from single file for each poll request etc ? So for server its kind of regular http file download request and all intelligence lies with client
Save flow: When you upload a video, it must be converted into HLS format. You can use FFMPEG to do that. You'll end up creating manifest files, and all the segments of the video.
Retrieval part:
The player will read the manifest file to know which segments to request. I've written a post on how HLS playback works with the manifest files: https://api.video/blog/video-trends/what-is-hls-video-streaming-and-how-does-it-work
But is a bit of a random question and no one should ever do it this way, but is it possible to execute a put api call to amazon S3 from the web browser? Using only query params.
For instance, ignoring authentication params, I know you can do https://s3.amazonaws.com/~some bucket~
To list files in the bucket. Is there a way to upload?
Have look at Browser-Based Uploads Using POST
All I'm trying is to to get a link for sharing the uploaded file.
I send the POST request to this URL:
api.dropbox.com/1/shares/auto/my_text_file.txt?all_the_oauth1_stuff...
But I always receive the 401 not authorized error.
I'm kinda following the documentation, so could anyone explain what I might be doing wrong?
The problem was occurring because of the wrong encoding of the file name (which worked for download / upload scenarios)
I'm building a Chromecast app, where I want to stream .m3u8 files (HLS) from a streaming provider. The streaming provider does not add CORS headers to the HTTP headers, which is a requirement for building Chromecast apps.
Is there any way to route the requests through a proxy, and have the proxy add the necessary headers for .m3u8 files? AFAICS, the .m3u8 files further point to files for the different bandwith streams, so it would be necessary to have the proxy add appropriate CORS headers to the header for those files as well.
Here is an example of a link to a .m3u8 file that I want to be able to stream.
Hey I realise I'm a bit late but I thought I would post here in case other find it usefull. I had the same problem when developing a chromecast application. The simple solution I found was to include the TOMODOkorz library this will pass all http requests through it's proxy.
You could host your own proxy and change the library to point to yours relatively easily.
This is actually possible by rewriting the urls within Chromecast's Media Player Library and having these sub-playlists also proxy through a CORS proxy like http://www.corsproxy.com/.
To do this in your custom receiver, do not import the google-hosted library
<script type="text/javascript" src="//www.gstatic.com/cast/sdk/libs/mediaplayer/0.5.0/media_player.js"></script>
Instead, copy the obfuscated javascript directly into your receiver html page, and do the following:
Find+replace g.D.url=k with g.D.url='http://www.corsproxy.com/' + k.replace(/^(?:[a-z]+:)?\/\//i,'')
Find+replace url:k with url:('http://www.corsproxy.com/' + k.replace(/^(?:[a-z]+:)?\/\//i,''))
Now, if you send the initial contentId to Chromecast with the http://www.corsproxy.com/YOUR_M3U8_FILE_HERE you should have a fully functional HLS-playing Chromecast app.
Most providers have the ability to set CORS for their customers. Akamai certainly does.
I've been able to stream HLS to ChromeCast from an S3 bucket by adding a permissive CORS file to the permissions for the bucket.
To answer my own question:
This is not possible without rebroadcasting the streams. .m3u8 files are files containing links to other files, which in the end also contain the binaries. All of these, including the HTTP response containing the binary, needs the CORS headers for the Chromecast to display the contents.
If you're only looking to add CORS headers to textual responses corsproxy.com is a good alternative, a long with several available open source projects.
Could someone show me an example or a starting point on how Dropbox api http requests should look?
For example if I want to receive tokens how would the HTTP/1.1 request look like for this?
I'm planning on writing a program in C using sockets,
write(sockfd,buffer,strlen(buffer));
What should buffer look like to receive security tokens from dropbox? I hope I'm making sense.
The official SDKs on the Dropbox developer site each include working examples that you can work from:
