Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

 

Hi!
I want to record a rtmpstream which has geo restrictions. I want to use a simple HTTP-Proxy and configure rtmpdump to use it(I don't want to use additional software). Unfortunately rtmpdump only supports Socks4. But I found a patch which adds HTTP-Proxy support for rtmpdump 2.3: http://web.archiveorange.com/archive...cEnozCqzM5eoX7
I tried that patch on linux and it seems that it works. Now I want to compile a rtmpdump-binary for windows with this patch. But I have some problems because I have not much experience with linux and compiling binaries. It would be great if someone would compile rtmpdump with http-proxy support for windows. I couldn't find anywhere a binary. I think some other people with this issue would appreciate it too. :)

That patch is over a year old. I tried to hand patch the files, but I cant get it to compile, and I dont know enough C to fix it.

I put my efforts at
github.com/downloads/svnpenn/rtmpdump/rtmpdump-HTTP-proxy.7z

if you want to check it out.

It seems that you used the source from RTMPdump 2.4. But I think that patch should work with an older version. Can you try to apply the patch on rtmpdump 2.3? A big thanks for your efforts :)

Re: Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

 

There have been significant changes since 2.3

I am not going to do that.

if you change the hostname to server.host on the erring line then it should compile properly.

Re: Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

 

You can put rtmpdump2.4 compiled with support for HTTP-Proxy?
thanks

I found an other way: I managed to create a local Socks Proxy and to chain it with a HTTP-Proxy, works fine too

Re: Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

 

you mentioned in your first post that you don't wanna use additional software otherwise i would have suggested chaining proxies earlier. anyway which software your are using currently?

Re: Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

 

I created a branch at

github.com/svnpenn/rtmpdump/tree/http-proxy

It compiles, but I dont have time to upload a build right now.

Re: Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

 

Yes, I want still manage it without additional software otherwise I wouldn't ask. But I'm also satisfied with this way. I managed it by using Charles Webdebugging proxy. It's very userfriendly but it is not freeware. Somehow it should be also possible with 'Socks via Http' but it's more complicated.

RtmpDump 2.4 448

HTTP proxy support

This is not tested so I could use some feedback if it actually works.

If I get good feedback I will merge it into the master branch.

i doubt that this patch gonna work properly. though i haven't tested it personally but looking at the code it seems incomplete.

Re: Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

 

Ok, I want to try now rtmpdump with HTTP-Proxy but I already fail at the easy part.
I want to record this stream, which works only if you have an IP from Switzerland
now I want that it uses this transparent proxy 46.19.143.93:80
(The stream, proxy and the rtmpdump parameters work perfectly)
Readme says I have to use the http_proxy
environment variable
How can I do that?
BTW: Thanks svnpenn for your work. I see you invested much time for this

Re: Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

 

in you cmd window use this cmd first:

with cmd.exe

with sh.exe or bash.exe

Re: Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

 

I tried like you told me but I get 'handshake failed'. Did you actually get it to work? Do I have to pay attention to something else?

Re: Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

 

How do I compile this under Windows?

I am using MinGW
C:\svnpenn-rtmpdump-30cf8a8>mingw32-make
The system cannot find the path specified.
mingw32-make: *** [librtmp/librtmp.a] Error 1

Then when I go into the librtmp folder and make:
C:\svnpenn-rtmpdump-30cf8a8\librtmp>mingw32-make
gcc -Wall -DRTMPDUMP_VERSION=\"v2.4\" -DUSE_OPENSSL -O2 -fPIC -c -o rtmp.o
rtmp.c
rtmp.c:1:0: warning: -fPIC ignored for target (all code is position independent)
[enabled by default]
rtmp.c:40:25: fatal error: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
mingw32-make: *** [rtmp.o] Error 1

Re: Compile RTMPdump for Windows with HTTP-Proxy support by applying a patch

 

If in fact you are wanting the http-proxy branch you are going to need git.

Edit
In addition I would suggest switching to Cygwin. Cygwin can compile native Windows binaries just like MinGW, and has Bash 4 where MinGW is still using Bash 3.

I did the following
and then successfully compiled the program with

I set the http proxy with

but when I ran the program, it did not use the HTTP_PROXY.

You may have to mess with the source code. I never actually tested it; just ported it the best I could from that old commit.
