#58 Cannot use Joint Radio Beat

[David Hedlund]

Why cannot I use http://star.jointil.net/proxy/jrn_beat?mp=/stream with streamripper?

$ streamripper http://star.jointil.net/proxy/jrn_beat?mp=/stream

It's an old bug caused by the web server using the chunked Transfer-Encoding, see [https://sourceforge.net/p/streamripper/bugs/193/]

The patch given by Björn in bug 193 is working for me.

This is what I see from a network capture, before applying the patch

With the patch, the transfer-encoding is not used by the server
