I use proxypass and proxypassreverse to hide the ip in the source code of our video web pages…

I am testing wowza to see if it will work for us.

This works in apache.

ProxyPass /webcams/webcam1/ [http://xx.xx.xx.xx:81/](http://xx.xx.xx.xx:81/)

ProxyPassReverse /webcams/webcam1/ [http://xx.xx.xx.xx:81/](http://xx.xx.xx.xx:81/)

When you browse to www.mydomain.com/WEBCAMS/WEBCAM1/ it redirects you [http://xx.xx.xx.xx/](http://xx.xx.xx.xx/) but the url in the address bar still shows www.mydomain.com/WEBCAMS/WEBCAM1/

BUT when I put the proxy url into the embed code for jw player it does not work.

Any tips?

This works:

This does not work thought the same concept works with our other video system which uses java

Maybe the question should be. Is there a way to embed this video using http?

That might make it work…

The video is an rtsp stream from an IP camera.

Thanks

I made a reply to an old thread… I was not sure if anyone would even see it…

So I made a brand new one.
