access http stream

[Standardnutzer]

I am trying to access a http stream (e.g. this one: websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/~~stream?v=11) but neither the VIs of the 'HTTP Client Palette' (e.g. HTTP get) nor the 'Network Streams Functions' seem to do that...

Well that stream doesn't work in the browser either. So not sure what it is, but the HTTP client VIs are not a streaming interface but simply a method to access HTTP content. And the Network Streaming API in LabVIEW is an interface to a specific NI proprietary network protocol to stream data over TCP/IP.  It will only work with compatible NI endpoints and not with some other streaming protocols out there, of which there are lots and lots of them, that are basically all incompatible with each other.

Sorry, it is http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/~~stream?v=11 (the browser didn't show the http).

Please try it again.

This still doesn't seem to work. I guess it is behind a firewall and only accessible to onsite clients.

It is defintely accessible via Internet. Firefox does it.

Hmmm I don't have Firefox but Safari refuses to open that link either, claiming that it is a HTTP/0.9 server. Not sure if the HTTP Client VIs will support HTTP/0.9
