Stream data from Webcaster to Icecast

So i'm using the Webcaster Browser Client and I also got the Webcast NodeJS example server working locally as well. I'm receiving the data from the client in the server e.g

Mon Jul 16 2018 14:31:11 GMT+0300 (FLE Daylight Time) -- Got 1252 bytes of binary data

But I've been googling for a couple of days and can't seem to find information on how to actually pass those chunks of data to my Icecast server.

Additional Info that might be relevant: Icecast server : 2.4.3; Platform: Windows; Server is not running the liquidsoap example, it's the NodeJS one

Can someone point me in a direction or provide some sample code? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay, so I've somehow managed to resolve my problem. Posting solution for any future reference if anyone needs help. Save this as script.liq:

# Log dir
set("log.file.path","./tmp/basic-radio.log")

# Serveur settings
set("harbor.bind_addr","0.0.0.0")

# An emergency file
emergency = single("./file.ogg")

# A playlist
playlist = playlist(mode="randomize",reload=60,"./music")

# A live source
livedj = input.harbor(
       "mount",
       port=8080,
       password="hackme"
)

# fallback
radio = fallback(track_sensitive=false,
                 [livedj,playlist,emergency])

# Stream it out
output.icecast(
    %mp3,
    host = "localhost",
    mount = "stream",
    user = "source",
    public = true,
    port = 8000, password = "hackme",
    genre = "Surprise",
    name = "DemoStream",
    radio)

Install Liquidsoap and run liquidsoap script.liq.

This configuration uses the default settings for an Icecast server so you only need to start up the Webcaster client and stream to ws://source:hackme@localhost:8080/mount. Cheers!
