How is Boxee supposed to handle a redirect on a RSS Link?
Currently I am populating the link with a dynamic link, which is nothing more than an ASP.NET handler, which does some stuff in the background, then it does a RESPONSE.REDIRECT back to BOXEE with the actual location of the file to play.
What I am seeing, is Boxee gets the redirect, but immediately re-requests the same link as what is in the RSS rather than what is returned in the redirect response.
Assuming Boxee cant support redirects, and being the media is "dynamically" created on the fly on a different server, how can I have boxee:
1. Execute the link in the rss
2. I respond with something as to the REAL address (currently as a redirect)
3. Boxee then begins to request from that address for the file
Thanks
