[erlang-questions] Switching between http/non-http depending of first byte

[Tony Rogvall]

Try using:

gen_tcp:unrecv(S, Data).

On accepting side you should have the listen socket in passive mode  
[{active,false},{packet,0}], then:

{ok,S} = gen_tcp:accept(L).
case gen_tcp:recv(S, 1) of
	{ok,[3]} ->
		gen_tcp:unrecv(S, [3]),
		rtmp_handler(S);
	{ok,H} ->
		gen_tcp:unrecv(S, H),
		%% switch to http protocol ..
		http_handler(S)
	Error ->
		...
end.
