[Freeswitch-users] Record and live stream WAV to HTTP server

Hello Sergey,

Thank you for your answer.
I've looked into webdav mounted filesystem.

Unfortunately, most WebDav clients (especially davfs2 on debian) do a lot
of buffering, caching and even lock-null requests (lock a non existent
resource before writing to it). I also suspect that they wait for the end
of the write operation.
The result is a latency of a few seconds witch is not much better than what
I achieve with mod_shout if I transcode the MP3.

Any other idea ?

Thank you !

Best regards

Vincent
