The reason I need to check for url-client IP is to allow integration
with a web server. When the web server shows a user a page with RTSP
video objects, a user is already authenticated and a cookie is used to
maintain the HTTP session. Thus the idea is to embed the coockie into
rtsp urls. Then to authorize the user the video server would simply
pass the client ip address and the coockie together with video name to
the web server asking for a confirmation if this client has
permissions to access a particular video.

Digest authentication is useless for this, one really needs
specialClientAccessCheck.
