I have a couple of questions about streaming and security.
Streaming media protocols ( http, UDP, RTSP, ....and pretty much all of them). When one watches content delivered by these methods; is there any difference from watching the content within the applet on the website and actually downloading the content from the url ? If there is a difference, do methods exist for the data's origin (meaning the sender) to differentiate between content played on an applet and content going to a hard disk ( on the receivers end)?
Any help would be appreciated or if someone could point me in the right direction.
