Hi.

I know it's hard to make true secure streaming of MP3 files to a Flash player, but does Nirvanix offer any ways of secure streaming of media files other than getting them via a simple HTTP download?

 By secure im going to assume you mean if someone tries to steal the URL and pass it along to friends.  Take a look at the GetOptimalURLs, this call lets you create a URL that will expire after a specified time period as well as locking it to a single IP Address.  This should be sufficient to block almost all attempts to retrieve the file by anyone other than the intended user.

Let me know if you have any questions about using this call.

Regards,

Hi.

I know that (greate) feature - what I mean is delevering the file in another way than a simple HTTP download. Like streaming it via a Flash Media Server or something. The problem with delivering MP3's (and video) by HTTP is that users can save the MP3 file when it's streamed in Flash with programs like freemusiczilla (.com)

We do not offer any streaming servers or specialized servers.  Often, other users will use a Proxy server to provide this functionality using us as the source server for mass storage.
