Hello,
Is it possible to configure Wawza some way for remove “wowzasessionid=session\_id” from the link like [http://server\_ip:1935/app\_name/stream\_name/chunklist.m3u8?](http://server_ip:1935/app_name/stream_name/chunklist.m3u8?)
Thanks!

I think the HTTP origin configuration does that:

It is only available in 3.5+

Right, sorry for the flip-flop, I had to re-visit. Should be no wowzasessionid.
Configured for HTTP origin, the chunklist.m3u8 file looks like this
```auto

Does this feature available only in Wowza Media Server 3.5 & high or in Wowza Media Server 3.1.2 too?
Thanks!

I’ve just checked it on test server (Wowza 3.5) and now chunklist.m3u8 doesn’t have wowzasessionid=number.

Khm… I’ve reinstalled Wawza 3.1.2 and when httpOriginMode == on, chunklist.m3u8 has wowzasessionid=number, but when httpOriginMode == off, chunklist.m3u8 doesn’t have wowzasessionid=number…
