Hello everyone,

i want to use nginx as a simple and effective way to generate mpeg-dash  
streams and push them to the akamai CDN network.  
There for i need to push the generated files with the POST Request  
method  
to the akamai entrypoint. But the problem is i have continuously  
generated  
files that have to upload same time they have generated.

With curl i would use the -d for POST Requests.  
Does anyone of you think this is possible with nginx?

Thank you very much and best regards,  
Florian

Hello,

i will start a second attmept for my question.  
I want to upload all files continuously generated by the rtmp mpeg dash  
module in a specific folder to another server.  
The upload needs to be processed with the HTTP POST function.

If i would do it manualy with curl, i would use something like:  
curl -v -d “123456789” [http://example.com/path/to/file.mpd](http://example.com/path/to/file.mpd)

Does anyone know if its possible with nginx and maybe how to do it?  
There is now way to start any process on the remote server.

Big thanks,  
Florian

It’s more of a topic for the nginx-rtmp list.  
Maybe this thread helps:

In short you can use push or exec\_push
