HTTPS streaming - encrypted?

Postby henz99 » 08 Aug 2013 13:11

Hi,

I want a confirmation about one thing. When we do https streaming using vlc, is the traffic encrypted or is the TLS certificate only used for the initial authentication (TLS handshake)?

I tried these commands:
* server:
vlc -I telnet --http-cert="vlc.crt" --http-key="key.pem" --sout '#std{access=https,mux=ts,dst=localhost:8080/test1}' test.wav

* client:
vlc https://localhost:8080/test1

It works, but when I see the traffic using wireshark, I can see the HTTP traffic in clear (not encrypted). Could someone help me on how to encrypt the HTTP traffic using TLS (which options should be added to the server)?

Everything should be encrypted. Look at the logs.
