Force RTMP streams playing flash to be requested via Proxy Server
15,627
I found a workaround, but it appears to be windows specific. The software they mention is shareware, and windows-only. http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f131/different-proxy-settings-for-flash-player-397364.html
Basically, this is a bug that needs to be reported to Adobe. There is no way to make it use your proxy of it's own volition.
(For the record, I have used the software they mention and it's a horrible pile of... badness)

DevOps & SysAdmins: Force RTMP streams playing flash to be requested via Proxy Server

I have a network squid proxy server that all our network traffic is routed through. I have a problem when a RTMP stream is viewed, flash is sending the request directly to the RTMP server and not through my proxy server.
HTTP streamed videos work without any issue and are correctly forwarded through the proxy server.
RTMP does switch down from port 1935 to 443 to 80 if the connection fails, but every one of these connections is made directly to the server with the RTMP stream and not via the proxy server.
Is there any way to force flash to honor the browser proxy settings when it is viewing an RTMP stream?
For completeness I have included a tcpdump of an attempted RTMP connection (IP Addresses have been starred intentionally)
