Generating Accelerated URLs

Instead of downloading files from the server on which Zixi Broadcaster is installed, it is possible to use Zixi Broadcaster to retrieve the file from a remote HTTP server. Zixi Broadcaster converts the remote server URL to an Accelerated URL. By using this accelerated URL to download the file, Zixi Broadcaster will retrieve the file from the remote server and use the Zixi Protocol to transfer the file to the Client. 

To generate an accelerated URL:

1. In Zixi Broadcaster, click the Files tab.
2. Under Destinations, click the  icon.
   The following window appears: 
   
3. In the URL field, type the URL of file in the remote HTTP server.

4. Click the icon.
   Two URLs are generated:

   
   The top URL is an HTTP URL and the bottom is an HTTPS URL.
