Hello,

is it possible to add custom http headers when streaming archives from URLs? I know xbmc supports this:

Code:

http://some.url/file.avi|header=value

I would like to combine this with a .strm file that looks like this:

Code:

rar://http://some.url/file.rar/file.avi

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Hans

hmm? so what's the problem? you know rar is of the format rar://<url encoded path to archive>/<file in archive> ...

Well I tried to add the |header=value after the rar part, and it didn't work. I wasn't sure if/how xbmc parses the http headers in a rar definition.
What I did exactly was:
rar://<url encoded path to archive>/<file in archive>|<urlencoded Cookie=value>

... you didn't read the structure of the url i told you, did you...

the file you're opening on the remote drive is the *rar* archive, not the file inside the rar. so it's the url to the *archive* that needs the property set, not the url to the file inside the archive.

Code:

archiveurl = http://some/where/|whatever=bar
encode(archiveurl)
rarurl = rar://archiveurl/file.avi
