I am attempting to update a python script from 2018 to handle some new cases and have encountered a problem I have been unable to solve.
This script is to pass an internet media stream to a Chromecast device for playback. One such media is an iHeart radio stream. When this stream is opened it returns a redirection request, but my attempts to handle it result in additional redirect requests. As a diagnostic I used the following curl command to retrieve the first few seconds of the stream and view how it did so:
curl --trace kcsjtrace.log -L -m 3 http://stream.revma.ihrhls.com/zc4814 >kcsj.out 2>kcsjerr.log
Here is the code I am attempting to handle this with:
Any help appreciated.

Here is the code I am attempting to handle this with:
resp = get_resp(url, "HEAD", {})
if resp.status == 404:
resp = get_resp(url, "GET", {})
if resp.status != 200:
redirect_codes = [ 301, 302, 303, 307, 308 ]
if resp.status in redirect_codes:
redirects = 0
req_header = {}
while resp.status in redirect_codes:
redirects += 1
if redirects > 9:
sys.exit("HTTP Error: Too many redirects")
headers = resp.getheaders()
for header in headers:
if len(header) > 1:
if header[0].lower() == "location":
redirect_location = header[1]
req_header["Host"] = (urlparse.urlparse(redirect_location)).netloc
if header[0].lower() == "set-cookie":
req_header["Accept"] = "*/*"
req_header["User-Agent"] = "python/2.7.18"
req_header["Cookie"] = (header[1].split(";"))[0]
if redirect_location.startswith("http") is False:
redirect_location = get_full_url(url, redirect_location)
print "Redirecting to " + redirect_location
resp = get_resp(redirect_location, "HEAD", req_header)
if resp.status == 404:
resp = get_resp(url, "GET", req_header)
if resp.status != 200:
sys.exit("HTTP error:" + str(resp.status) + " - " + resp.reason)
else:
sys.exit("HTTP error:" + str(resp.status) + " - " + resp.reason)
print "Found HTTP resource"
def get_resp(url, type="HEAD", header=[]):
url_parsed = urlparse.urlparse(url)
scheme = url_parsed.scheme
host = url_parsed.netloc
path = url.split(host, 1)[-1]
conn = None
if scheme == "https":
conn = httplib.HTTPSConnection(host)
else:
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection(host)
conn.request(type, path, "", header)
resp = conn.getresponse()
return resp Any help appreciated.
