http_flv module

The module provides pseudo-streaming server-side support for Flash Video (FLV) files.

It handles requests with the start argument in the request URI’s query string specially, by sending back the contents of a file starting from the requested byte offset and with the prepended FLV header.

This module isn’t built by default; it should be enabled with the ‑‑with‑http_flv_module configuration parameter.

Packages in our repositories have this module built.
