How to track itunes podcast data with codeigniter

Question

I'm trying to track podcast data. They told me I have to use a .mp3 extension or else it won't load. So I can't just do like track.php, it would have to be track.mp3 which redirects to a php file. I was wondering if I could simply use Codeigniters url:

http://domain.org/index.php/feed/listen/music.mp3

Then in the feed class I'd have the listen function and it would send music.mp3 as a paramater. Would that work? or would it break because of index.php?

Answer 1

Many network-based trackers (like RawVoice/BluBrry) work via redirect. So for instance http://trackerurl.com/accountnumber/?r=http://media.podcasturl.com/myshow.mp3
