[Live-devel] New version released - adds server support for RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling

[Ross Finlayson]

A new version (2010.10.15) of the "LIVE555 Streaming Media" software 
has been released that adds server support for optional 
RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling.  (*Client* support for RTSP-over-HTTP 
tunneling has been present for a long time.)

The "RTSPServer" class has two new member functions:

Boolean setUpTunnelingOverHTTP(Port httpPort);
	Attempts to support tunneling on the specified HTTP port 
number.  Returns True iff it succeeds.

portNumBits httpServerPortNum() const;
	Returns the port number (in host order) that is currently 
being used for RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling (or returns 0 if tunneling is 
not supported).


I also updated the "testOnDemandRTSPServer" and "live555MediaServer" 
applications to try to set up HTTP tunneling on port 80, then port 
8000, and then finally port 8080.  Of course, RTSP-over-HTTP 
tunneling is always optional; RTSP over the regular RTSP port (554 or 
8554) is always supported.
