Hi,

I noticed, that http inspection in fw1 disables shoutcast streams (it is a
http-based audio streaming
format, among others, winamp uses it).

I belive that it is because, that the answer from the server is binary
(audio data) and actually
never ends, as it is a stream. And thus smartdefense disables it.

Is it possible to overcome this?
