Who's "we"?  GMail?  I don't think so.  Your use of a "@gmail.com" 
email address tells me that you're a casual hobbyist rather than a 
serious professional.  That's OK, but be warned that people who use 
unprofessional email addresses (e.g., "@gmail.com", "@yahoo.com", 
"@hotmail.com") are less likely to be supported on this mailing list.

Yes, provided, of course that you're using the RTSP protocol.

This is not a standard.  In VLC, if you want to use RTP-over-HTTP 
streaming, then you must explicitly configure it:
	Preferences... -> Input/Codecs -> Demuxers ->  RTP/RTSP
	Then click the "Advanced" check box
	Then click the "Tunnel RTSP and RTP over HTTP" check box

If this doesn't work, then please post the (publically-accessible) 
"rtsp://" URL of the stream, so I can test this myself.
