[FFmpeg-user] Looking for the http streaming documentation

Hello,

I use OBS 30.2.2 to record to "Output to URL"

I want to implement a custom server that receives the stream via http.

The URL is http://127.0.0.1:12345/hello

I see that ffmpeg does a POST request.

POST /hello
{
  'transfer-encoding': 'chunked',
  'user-agent': 'Lavf/61.1.100',
  accept: '*/*',
  connection: 'close',
  host: '127.0.0.1:12345',
  'icy-metadata': '1'
}

Then ffmpeg ends the request.

I Thought ffmpeg just writes the stream with a POST request
and that’s it. But it is something more.

Now I do not know what ffmpeg expects me to send as an answer.
Probably some initial config stuff?

Where do I can find documentation for this?

Hope someone can help.

Kind regards,
Manuel
