Capturing image from iCamView device

Question

Receiving the following messages when using Motion with an iCamView network webcam:

Starting motion detection : motion
Processing thread 0 - config file /etc/motion/motion.conf
Processing thread 1 - config file /etc/motion/thread4.conf
Webcam port for thread 1 is 84
Thread1 device: http://192.168.0.13/showimg_pda.cgi?cam=1 input: -1
Netcam: thread 1: starting...
[HTTP/1.1 505 HTTP Version Not Supported]
Netcam: thread 1: unknown Content-Type

I presume the webcam itself is rejecting the request. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Environment

Motion version:	3.1.19
ffmpeg version:
Libraries:	curl, xmlrpc, ffmpeg, mysql, postgresql
Server OS:	Debian 2.6.8 kernel

Answer

Looks like the camera does not like the http version?

Could I kindly ask you to go to this topic and follow the instructions: NetcamMjpegStreamDumps

We collect binary dumps of Network cameras for testing. We do not own all Network cameras so we are coding in blindness. So these binary dumps are vital.
