Disable SSL for Amazon® CloudFront CNAME

Hi Guys

I am running into a small problem with HTTP streaming using iOS or Safari without Flash for that matter.

Is it possible to force Amazon® S3/CloudFront CDN Storage & Delivery CNAME for File Downloads (ONLY) to NOT use SSL (HTTPS) while keeping Rmtpe Streaming intact?

In other word:

config: {streamer: “rtmpe://
and
config: {file: “http://

Now it’s setting at

config: {streamer: “rtmpe://
and
config: {file: “https://

I tried playing with .htaccess but with no luck. Is there a hack to fore that from happening? Thank you

hey, not trying to hijack but did not see way to msg other users so… i have post up bout video becasue Secure Multi-Protocal to Multi-device is my goal in using wp/s2: http://www.s2member.com/forums/topic/video/

I like the prospects i see with the security features on offer with S2 but I do not have any solutions in place yet. But even though it looks like you are allowing downloads (i am not – just streaming) you are getting at the heart of the matter, switching and serving HLS

http streaming over SSL is something I think will be from the past. It’s slow and does not work cross browsing. Amazon S3/Cloudfront is a good product but not perfect..YET. (Work in progress)

Anyway, Apple requires more than a standard SSL certificate that comes with a hefty price. NOT Interested at this time. :) So, I did only secure the registration page/admin and dumped SSL for the others.

Now, I have my site streaming on both protocol (rtmp and http) on most devices….. Now, do I worry about people downloading the media? Maybe I should have checked with Youtube before I opened my business….!! Not really. They will take it anyway using a very simple and free software. I literally can download anything Amazon S3/Cloudfront can offer. That’s when S2m comes in…It gives an extra layer of security to insure that not only that person pays but also is legit (Iran, Russia, Romania, China, UAE) Wonderful People. (If you ever wonder about that software, look no further than StreamTransport)

No worry BOB, just open a Youtube channel and some ads….Money Tree.

You guys are a little over my head but I think I may be having similar issues. I am not sure I need https for anything other than my credit card entry page (paypal pro form). I also am using Amazon Cloudfront/s3. When I created my paypal pro form on my site it was not using an https after my certificate was installed so I used the custom field (per s2member instructions) to force https on that page. But this seems to create a problem (I think a conflict between Amazon’s cdn ssl & my sites) and results in a redirect loop. Further if I remove the custom field, and instead manually type into the browser “https://” prefixes in front of my site’s URLs all the formatting is lost as the stylesheet fails to be pulled from an https URL.

I don’t have cnames set yet pointing to s2member distributions on Cloudfront, I don’t know if that will solve my issue. My reptilian brain just thought maybe there’s a setting somewhere in Amazon Cloudfront that could disable https/ssl for a specific page in my WordPress site so I could use my own ssl certificate there, but I could be tragically confused.

Hi, Don’t forget to buy additional SSL certificate for your CNAMES…otherwise it will not work

Example: https://site.com
and your CNAMES is video.site.com

then you need to buy an additional SSL certificate for video
