We released v2.2 today with more updates coming soon.
We have an update to Willow out today that adds the ability to modify HTTP Providers in the virtual host with just a few clicks. HTTP Providers are a really handy way to talk to Wowza over HTTP to interact with an application, check stats, get information and just about anything else you can imagine when needing to communicate to Wowza. Each VHost has the ability to setup multiple host ports (ip numbers and ports) and then each host port can have a bunch of HTTP Providers. Essentially allowing you to setup ones for maybe admin only on a specific port and then general usage ones on port 80 maybe.
We also moved the connection tester to the new “Developer Tools” area and took it out of the “Server Management” area and when XML files are updated, we keep a backup of them. Just in case.
We have lots of new ideas coming up and lots coming in as well, thank you to all that have helped contribute to Willow and assisted in making it what it is today and will be in the future.
Willow has been updated to version 2.4 today. The following improvements have been made:
