1.7 Versioning and Capability Negotiation

This document covers versioning issues in the following areas:

  • Protocol Versions: The Smooth Streaming Transport Protocol is explicitly versioned through the MajorVersion and MinorVersion fields that are specified in section 2.2.2.1.

  • Security and Authentication Methods: Security and authentication for the Smooth Streaming Transport Protocol is performed at the underlying transport layer (HTTP) and does not restrict which of the HTTP supported mechanisms can be used.
