VLC as a HTTP web server

[theRookie]

Hi guys, I was wondering if I could use a VLC that is streaming to some URL adress like http://server:port as a web server on those adress and port. I mean, can I make a client communicate with that VLC at that adress by sending HTTP requests? For the time, my client is a java class using an URLConnection object to connect to the adress where my VLC is streaming and I would like to try to get the data that is streamed (with a getInputStream method or some ) but the connection doesn't work.
That's the third time I try to fix that problem and I don't suceed so please guys I need some help. I'll appreciate any response to this topic.

see y'all

You might find the Wireshark capture files in my topic "Windows Mobile 5.0 can't pull stream from VLC" interesting:

I Thank U for the time you took to try to help me fix that problem, Erwin. But, the wireshark capture files you posted on that sendspace link are no longer available. and I don't understand how those posts could help me.
However, I have fixed the connection problem between the my java application and the adress where VLC is sending packets. It was just a default in my implementation. You can be sure that using a URLConnection API for such matter works without a problem. for those who are interested, you simply have to use the method connect() on an URLConnection object that represents a connection to the URL where your VLC is streaming data.

Thank you again erwin
Peace.

Would you care to post the instructions on how you did this? and are you streaming it to the open internet and not just a LAN?

HTTP is not exactly meant to send files, rather to receive them. Sure there is the PUT method, but nobody implements it anyway.
