Is Wowza Streaming Engine custom Modules and HTTP Providers stateless or stateful? When I call functions and code from these, do they persist?
I think that HTTPProviders are based off servlets so they should normally be stateless other than perhaps using sessions to track stuff. In true sense only sockets are stateful. I am not sure how wowza calculates connections counts via http provider though. May be it uses http sessions for that or maybe WebSockets under the hood ?
I asked a Wowza engineer for you and they said it would depend on how it was designed. They request you send a support ticket if you’d like to further discuss.
