[FFmpeg-devel] RTSP over HTTP tunnel authentication

Hi.

For what it's worth, I read the fine manual and set up password protected

In my experience, auth is required twice:

1) Single GET request, that establishes channel for receiving RTSP responses
and actual data.
2) Single POST request, that establishes channel for sending RTSP request.

I.e., the auth is sent with GET and with POST - each RTSP request/reply is
already passing through the established channels and does not require any
additional authentications.

Regards.
