2.2.6.2.12 x-wms-stream-type

  • Article

This directive specifies a comma-separated list of properties that apply to the content. The list is enclosed in quotation marks.

The broadcast property specifies that the content is broadcast, or live (and therefore can be suitable for splitting to multiple downstream clients). The playlist property specifies that the content consists of possibly multiple entries from a server-side playlist.

The list of properties can be used by a caching proxy server to determine if the content is a suitable candidate for caching or splitting.<7>

The syntax of the directive is as follows.

 stream-prop = ( "broadcast" / "playlist" )
 StreamTypes = "x-wms-stream-type=" 
               %x22 stream-prop *2( "," stream-prop ) %x22
