[Red5devs] [Fwd: RTMPS and the opening of multiple tcp ports, thus needing synchronization]

[Daniel Rossi]

As of now RTMPS is not functioning correctly it seems in Flash Player  
10 / Flex 3, I had tested in Flash 9 and was functioning fine using  
the self signed generated certificate. Its very odd, at one stage I  
was getting NetConnection.Connect.CertificateUntrustedSigner errors, I  
re-generate the cert and now it won't connect at all just hangs  
waiting to connect. I have also noticed in the past rtmps will only  
work on port 443 without the port added to the url or it needed the  
port not sure tried both and still no luck now. There is documentation  
in flash player 9.124 regards to not accepting  self signed  
certificates anymore.

Sorry if this is not what you are after just my observations.
