Hello all!

I am looking for a VARIATION of the built-in “connectioncounts” HTTPProvider. “connectioncounts” is OK most of the time, but there is ONE BUG that creeps up sometimes. If a player attempts to connect to a STREAM that is not actually streaming, it will actually show up in the XML. I have tested it. In order for this to happen numerous requests for the same stream must hit the server BUT it is happening. I have checked the actual “Incoming Streams” page in the back-end UI and it is not showing there. ONLY valid and active incoming streams are showing on that back-end page. SO, the question is - when building an HTTPProvider inside Eclipse and the Wowza IDE - which method should I call to get exactly the same results?

Thank you!
