SUMMARY
The section below discusses how to use Http streaming from a NetShow Server.

MORE INFORMATION
Http streaming is disabled by default. This is because most people will be running a web server on the same computer using port 80. If you use this feature of NetShow, you should use the server as a dedicated NetShow server, or do not run a web server on the same computer.

If you run a web server on port 80, you would create a conflict over what component services port 80. If you want your NetShow server to stream Http, do the following:

Remove, disable, stop your web server, or change the port it uses to a nonstandard port for Http. Then in the registry make the following change:

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

  HKLM\sysem\CurrentControlSet\Services \NSUNICST\Parameters\ENABLEHTTPSTREAMING

Change the value from 0 (off) to 1 (on).

After you make the above registry change, you will be able to perform streaming Http from your NetShow server.
