Hi,

Below is wireshark output of 'openRTSP.exe -T 80 -u admin admin -F 
rtp_data -m rtsp://192.168.3.4/VideoInput/1/h264/1'

GET /VideoInput/1/h264/1 HTTP/1.0
CSeq: 3
Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=
User-Agent: openRTSP.exe (LIVE555 Streaming Media v2010.10.20)
x-sessioncookie: dbe115cec3266617fab9b26

and that's all ... I see no other requests sent to the server. I think the 
problem is beacause this server does not immediately close its connection 
after http reply, so client is able to send a repeated request during the 
same connection but it is ignored by the server. When I turn off client 
authorization everything goes ok.

Regards,
Kamil
