The problem is, as I believe you mentioned elsewhere, that if a flash
player initiates a connection after the page is loaded, then it will
not go through sloppy. Normally it is not a big deal, but now that I
have been commissioned to make an FLV stream player, it is somewhat
necessary. I figured, since I controlled the connection, I could test
it locally by pointing Sloppy to the Streaming Media Server and point
the SWF to Sloppy. The Problem? Sloppy's GUI prepends http:// to
everything. So I figured I would just use the CLI version, but then
that returned:

Failed to start Sloppy: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol:
or
Failed to start Sloppy: java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown
protocol: rtmp

Needless to say, I am at a standstill until I figure this out. My next
step is to poke around in the source code, but I figured I would post
here a) if someone already knew the answer, they might save me the
work, b) if I find the answer, I can post it for anyone else who might
need it, but most of all c) I really do not trust my ability to solve
this ^^'
