HTTP FLV module is a HTTP module that supports playing live FLV streams through HTTP. The following is an example of how to enable playing a HTTP live FLV stream:

http {
...
    server {
        ...
        location /live {
            flv_live on;
        }
    }
}

HTTP Chunked Transmission

If the players understand Transfer-Encoding: chunked HTTP header, chunked on; can be set in conf file to enable chunked transmission when responding to the players:

http {
...
    server {
        ...
        location /live {
            flv_live on;
            chunked on;
        }
    }
}

If chunked on; is not set or chunked off; is set, the server sends a Expires: -1 HTTP header to the players by default.
