DLNA HTTP Requests
I'm examining the HTTP traffic sent back-and-forth between the DLNA server (minidlna in my case) and the DLNA client (Sony Blu-ray player).
Here's some of my notes on them.
Source for headers is playback of a file up until the first 60 seconds.
Logging the first run:
sudo tcpflow -p -c port 8200 > log.firstrun-60s
Clean up the data:
dos2unix log.firstrun-60s
Some PHP code to help me examine the content closely (which I'm not going to apologize for the quality, since I'm debugging). Requires the PECL http extension.
<?php $str = file_get_contents("log.firstrun-60s"); $contents = explode("\n", $str); $count = 0; $key = 0; $headers = array(); foreach($contents as $str) { if(strpos($str, "HTTP/1.1") !== false) { $key++; $arr = explode(":", $str); array_shift($arr); $str = implode(":", $arr); } $arr_content_headers[$key][] = $str; } foreach($arr_content_headers as $arr) { $headers[] = implode("\n", $arr); } foreach($headers as $key => $http_headers) { $arr_headers = http_parse_headers($http_headers); if($arr_headers === false) { $count++; } else { print_r($arr_headers); } } if($count) echo "$count failed\n";
And the first two HTTP requests:
