OSMF with Basic Authentication

Question

How would one create a video or audio stream using OSMF when there must be basic authentication on the url?

Can one feed in Audio/Video using HTTPService to provide the header authentication?

All the examples available ignore the authentication portion!

See my answer here about adding basic authentication to an HTTPService:

Remote Image with basic authentication?

It should do the trick for you :)

How does one even set the video display source from an HTTPService? – Omar Mir Jul 24 '11 at 19:18

credentials is a string with "username:password" encoded in Base64 For Audio:

        private function auth_play(reqestURL:URLRequest) : void {

            stream = new Sound();

            var credsHeader:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + credentials);
            reqestURL.requestHeaders.push(credsHeader);

            var context:SoundLoaderContext = new SoundLoaderContext(1000, true);

            stream.load(reqestURL, context);                
        }

For Video I couldn't find anything but I SUSPECT this will work with netconnection and netstream:

nc.addHeader("Authorization", true, "Basic " + credentials);
