Text redirect

To receive a streaming server redirect in text form, and not through a redirect with the 302nd code, you need to add a parameter ?text_redirect=yes to the link.

There will be a link to the streaming server in the body:

There is one more option to receive the text redirect :

  • text_redirect=size there are 2 lines – redirect link and file size

Non-optimal streaming server could be chosen without specifying surfer’s IP. Text link shouldn’t be cached (only for video rewinding purposes). For new viewing with another user new link should be obtained.
