GCDWebServer for streaming

Question

I was trying to stream a mp4 video from a remote server on a iOS device. I somehow got [ERROR] Error while writing to socket 15: Broken pipe (32) after a few writes.

Not sure where is wrong. Can you kindly give any advice?

iOS re-routing requests w/ GCDWebServer (not redirecting)

Thanks! Rao
