Greetings, Can the HttpProvider: http://[wowza-address]:8086/connectioncounts be unsecured? I plan on displaying that data in a “available connections” page. Thanks, Joel ---

Hello Joel, Take a look at conf/VHost.xml. Under com.wowza.wms.http.HTTPConnectionCountsXML, change the AuthenticationMethod from “admin-digest” to “none”. ---

Please make sure you are using the correct port in your request. You mentioned that the browser is diplaying this message: > Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 192.168.2.50:8081 ??? but your URL is: ```auto http://piyush:5767@192.168.2.50:8086/connectioncounts ``` Which port are you actually using, 8086 or 8081? Zoran ---

Can you please confirm that your problem is fixed and it was a firewall port blocking issue? The question marks used (???) are confusing and might give a different meaning to your last comment. Zoran ---

Make sure port 8086 is not blocked by a firewall. Also make sure the port is open and properly mapped to the server running Wowza in your network or port forward to the Wowza server. This site may be helpful: www.portforward.com Salvadore ---
