An **HTTPProvider** is an extension to the server that can be attached to a **HostPort** definition in **[install-dir]/conf/VHost.xml** and can be used to return HTTP data quickly from the server using a web browser or automated tool. There is more detailed information on this subject in the User’s Guide. The class below is an HTTPProvider that returns detail server information.

```auto

Use the **Wowza IDE** to compile this class into a jar file and copy it to the **[install-dir]/lib** folder. To use it, edit **[install-dir]/conf/VHost.xml** and change the **HostPort/HTTPProvider/BaseClass** to the full path to this class **com.mycompany.wms.http.HTTPServerInfoXML**.

I’m getting ClassNotFoundException error.

…

error parsing HTTPProvider properties: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.test.HTTPServerInfoXML

com.test.HTTPServerInfoXML

…

how do i verify the classpath?

If you compiled as is, it will be:

> com.mycompany.wms.http.HTTPServerInfoXML

> package.ClassName

Thomas,

With Wowza Server 2 Advanced you can define as many HTTPProviders as you want using “RequestFilters”:

> com.wowza.wms.http.HTTPServerInfoXML
> 
> \*serverinfoxml
> 
> none
> 
> com.wowza.wms.http.HTTPConnectionCountsXML
> 
> \*connectioncounts.xml
> 
> none

You can get Wowza Server 2 Advanced here:

Also, with Wowza 1.7.2 you could do it by creating new HostPort/s using other ports, just for its HTTPProvider.

I got it working. Realized that it is a problem in my jar file (corrupted).

Exactly what I was looking for. Richard pointed me to this thread 🙂

It works well, but let’s say I’d like to have different http servlets running. How to map each servlet to a url? Currently I can only have 1 httpprovider no matter which url I input, it always hits the same provider.

Hmmm… That’s not very pretty, but yeah it does the trick, as it is used only internally by my server. Thank your Richard 🆒
