A crash bug or just a coincidence?

O/S: Gentoo & latest DNAS


I wrote a php script to check file 7.html, so I can check to see if the source is connected..

Ok, to get the file 7.html, I use the php fputs command. This is where it gets screwy....

If I do:

fputs($scp,"GET /7.html HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: SC Checker (Mozilla Compatible)\r\n\r\n"); 

it doesnt crash the DNAS, but if I leave out (Mozilla Compatible) like so:

fputs($scp,"GET /7.html HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: SC Checker\r\n\r\n"); 

it crashes the DNAS!

If this is a known issue, then anyone can crash DNAS' by this way, no?

Any thoughts?

<?php
$fp = @fsockopen("mystream.url", "myport");
fputs($fp,"GET /7.html HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: SC Checker\r\n\r\n");
?>

... doesnt crash my test stream running SHOUTcast DNAS 1.9.8 and 1.9.9b on debian linux 4.0 with a 2.6.24.5 kernel.
It shows only the following on the DNAS log:

code:
<08/01/08@14:03:15> [dest: myhost] Invalid resource request(/7.html)

Which DNAS version and which operating system do you use?

Er, it happens that I'm running

SHOUTcast Server Version 1.9.6/Linux

Is this the latest for *nix....Or specifically, Gentoo?

[caraoge]

You use an very old version from july 2006 ;-)
The latest version for linux, freebsd, mac and solaris is 1.9.8.
There aren`t any special versions for different linux distributions.

You can download the latest version here.

I'll upgrade later..... this could also be the reason that it falls over inimitantly (i.e needs a zap before it can be restarted), and I'm unable to run more than one port?

There is a 1.9.9 beta that allows the iPhone/iTouch to connect to the streams that you may want to think about. Just search for it to find the download link. There is also an SC_Trans beta at 2.x that you might be interested in.
