[Live-devel] RTSPClient::describeURL authentication problems

[Igor Bukanov]

Hi!

I think the current implementation of

char* RTSPClient::describeURL(char const* url, Authenticator* authenticator,
			      Boolean allowKasennaProtocol)

has the following problems:

1. If authenticator is null and the url contains username:password@
prefix before the host, then code calls describeWithPassword and
ignores allowKasennaProtocol parameter.

2.  If authenticator is not null, then the code does not repeat
sending the command. This is very inconvenient and forces various
workarounds in the client to repeat the command after the checking one
more time that the last failure was due to the access denied problem.

The attaches patch fixes both this problems as with it I can play
through unpatched vlc 0.8.6 rtsp source requiring authorization.

Regards, Igor
