Stream Server Status

The viewer uses multiple streaming technologies when opening images that are needed on demand and have not been pre-cached.  

HTTP - Streaming using HTTP protocol
WSS - Streaming using web socket streaming protocol

A streaming server status indicator can be found in each viewer window's title bar next to the sizing buttons.
