Comment 11 for bug 906788

Unfortunately, I am no expert in this regard either. What kind of information does he need?
To summarize (I hope I get it right):
JHV sends a HTTP GET request to helioviewer.org to retrieve the url of the jpx/jp2 file on the server.
THe response from the server uses JSON.
Then JHV establishes a permanent connection to the server using the given url to the jpx/jp2 file. using port 8090
This is done via a GET request. Used headers are
Host: helioviewer.org:8090
Cache-Control: no-cache
Connection: Keep-Alive

The server responds with chunked responses with the following headers:
Cache-Control: no-cache
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Content-Type: image/jpp-stream

So one needs persistent connections and the ability to decode chunked responses and port 8090 in order for JHV to work properly.

Hope this helps!,
