Remarks

Windows Media Services supports HTTP stream distribution among servers running Windows Media Services. For example, the server connected to this instance of the Windows Media Unicast Admin control can distribute streams to multiple downstream servers. It can try, by using HTTP, to connect to a server behind a firewall. This method is used to set the user name and password credentials needed to break through the firewall if this server is challenged by a proxy server.
