Description

This indicates an attempt to use the ICY protocol.
The ICY protocol is a superset of the HTTP protocol. It is a protocol designed for media streaming. It is identified by headers in the HTTP packet that starts with "icy-". Three parties are involved in a connection: source (provides the media to be streamed), server (provides the stream to the client) and client (listens to the stream).
