commit 750a8faf9db4e19c45fb2a9962789114279ea322 Author: David Fifield <david@bamsoftware.com> Date: Fri Jun 17 01:20:30 2011 -0700 Use our own RTMFP server instead of Adobe's. The free Cumulus server works as a replacement for the Adobe RTMFP rendezvous server at rtmfp://p2p.rtmfp.net. By running this on the facilitator we cut out Adobe and reduce the number of trusted parties by one. The facilitator gains some information it didn't have before: though RTMFP data goes directly between endpoints, the RTMFP server seems to get periodic heartbeat messages while the connection is ongoing. --- README | 6 +++--- swfcat.as | 2 +- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/README b/README index ccde8b9..a086aa6 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ There are five main parts.
