RTMP and RTMPT file uploads

[James Salsman]

Abobe published the RTMP spec, so there's no reason not to allow RTMP
file uploads. Red5 also supports RTMPT which uses port 80 to traverse
firewalls a lot better, and you might want to consider that, too.

RTMP is just a protocol, anyone is free to implement it for appengine
use. I use pyamf to format my data over HTTP cause pyamf is a sweet
implementation of a formerly proprietary Adobe data format.

Not sure a streaming server makes sense with appengine due to the CPU
hours cost (not to mention amount of work to implement a streaming
server and the possibility that appengine is hosted in only one data
center). There are cloud based streaming services available online
though (wowza comes to mind)

All that being said... it would be sweet to see someone try to make a
video streaming server on appengine
