Catch Metadata from Icecast-audio-stream

Question

I want to receive metadata from this station:

http://ice1.somafm.com/deepspaceone-128-mp3

In order to achieve this I did the following request via shell:

$ GET -H "Icy-MetaData: 1" http://ice1.somafm.com/deepspaceone-128-mp3

Although I expected to receive the Icy-metaint value, it don't throws any output.

I also did the following request:

$ HEAD http://ice1.somafm.com/deepspaceone-128-mp3

This yields:

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You should verify, that the command you are using really sends that header.

Using cURL it works just fine (see last line of output):

$ curl -H "Icy-MetaData: 1" -v "http://ice1.somafm.com/deepspaceone-128-mp3" >/dev/null
