Play a recording from a web server

By default, recordings are stored by the PROXY Pro Gateway at a location configured by the Gateway Administrator (which may or may not be accessible through a network share). If recordings are moved to a location accessible by a standard web server, you can use PROXY Pro Master to play that recording via standard URL:
 
1.    Choose Connection > Play Recording via URL... from the menu. Find recording in the explorer window that pops up
2.    Click OK and the Playback window will pop up and start playing the recording.
 
The following syntax can be used to specify the URL of the recording file you wish to play:
 
u   http://<webservername>/<recordingfile.prxrec> (default port is 8080)
u   http://<webservername:port>/<recordingfile.prxrec>
u   https://<webservername>/<recordingfile.prxrec>
u   https://<username.password@webservername>/<recordingfile.prxrec>
   
If the URL is specified using HTTPS, the Master will attempt to validate the server's certificate, and will display a warning dialog if the certificate has any errors.  If server requires authentication, and no username or password is specified in the URL, the Master will present the current logged on user's credentials to the webserver; if the default credentials are not accepted, a username/password dialog will appear.  Recordings played via URL or from a local file store will appear in the Master's History tab and can be added to the Favorites tab.  From either location, they can be played again, deleted or exported (and converted to .wmv format).  Note the following limitations:
 
NOTE: If the server has a certificate error, the error action (i.e. to accept the certifcate) is not stored in History or Favorites.  The only way to export a recording from URL with a certificate error is from within the Playback window.
NOTE: Playback via URL does not have access to metadata about the recording, i.e. workstation ID, user name, date/time started, etc., so those fields are blank in the properties dialog.  The exception is duration, which is shown by default.
