[Red5] Port Magic? localhost/oflaDemo

[Travis McCauley]

Hi,

 

I'm running the war version of  red5 0.6rc2 in tomcat 5.5. I'm using
oflaDemo and everything is working well. But I don't understand how my
flash player is able to connect to red5 inside of tomcat *without*
explicitly asking for port 8080. 

 

The url I'm providing is rtmp://localhost/oflaDemo. Tomcat is running on
8080. When red5 starts inside of tomcat does it create a server inside
of a server that is listening on another port?  If so, then the flash
player must use a default port (other than 80) for rtmp requests?

 

I'm happy that it's working but I'm confused. 

 

Thanks very much for any clarification on this issue. Eventually I want
to run red5 on port 80 so I need to figure this out.
