I have configured some reverse proxies in order to map some HTTP audio streams that are normally accessed via different port numbers (e.g. http://fooserver:18030), to URL addresses accessible on standard port 80 (e.g. http://fooserver/capitalRadio).

It is working fine, but I have a problem. It seems there is some heavy buffering being done on the server. It takes around 5 minutes for the stream to start playing on the client.

Having no prior experience with URL rewriting on IIS, can someone point me out which setting(s) I can throttle back to reduce the playing delay?

dont have a machine running IIS ARR infront of me at the moment, but found the following:

Server Farms > FarmName > Proxy > Buffer section > Response Buffer Threshold

Via here. Hope this helps...

  • @TiermanO, thanks for responding. When I set up the reverse proxy, I did it at the directory level (I created a normal directory under ´inetpub/wwwroot´ and then added a ´web.config´ file with the URL Rewrite rule), unfortunately I don't have anything under Server Farms (the list is empty) Do you recommend that I create one even though just a single server will be responding to client requests? Thanks again.

  • I think arr is the newer version of redirection... It has some extra features... It maybe your best bet to install and confirm that... Even if you only have a single box...

  • @TiermanO, thank you, it was not necessary to create a Server Farm, the Application Request Routing feature has a Server Proxy Settings section with Response buffer size and Response buffer threshold settings. I set the values to 256 and 8 KB respectively and it solved the problem. I'm not allowed yet to grant you the bounty, I must wait 13 hours more, but thanks for pointing me to the solution.
