Http live streaming: Forcing MPMoviePlayerController to pack headers in the http requests

问题

I am streaming video from a server to iPhone using Http Live Streaming. I need to set certain headers in the http packets that the phone sends to the server.

For regular packets, the following code would suffice:

NSMutableURLRequest* request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url]
                                autorelease];
[request setValue:VALUE forHTTPHeaderField:@"Field You Want To Set"];

Unfortunately, I did not find a similar API for MPMoviePlayerController. In other words, how do I force MPMoviePlayerController to set certain headers in the http packets that it uses to communicate to the server?

回答1:

I think setting a cookie might solve your problem. Please look into the documentation for NSHTTPCookie and NSHTTPCookieStorage.

回答2:

I don't think you'll find a solution other than using NSHTTPCookieStorage to have the client send cookie based headers to the server.

Recently, I had this problem too, and found from stack overflow that the solution is to use NSURLProtocol. Still, it was painful figuring out how to do it, so I thought I'd save people some time by sharing the coded solution: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23261001/3547099
