The server can't be closing the connection, otherwise it would never 
be able to stream back data to the client later.  It's apparently 
keeping the connection open, but just not responding to the resending 
of the HTTP "GET".

The difference between these two versions is that - in the old 
version - we didn't resend the HTTP "GET" command, but instead 
continued as normal, sending a subsequent HTTP "POST" command (on a 
new connection), with an "Authorization:" header.

It's not clear (from the limited documentation on "RTSP-over-HTTP 
tunneling") which behavior is 'correct', but because your server 
(which I assume is Darwin/QTSS) is happier with the old behavior, 
I've installed a new version (2010.10.22) of the code that behaves 
the same way as the old version.

(ps. People are taken more seriously on this mailing list if they use 
a professional email address - i.e., one whose domain name identifies 
an organization (company or school) that they're affiliated with, or 
at least a personal custom domain name - not something like 
"@gmail.com" or "@poczta.onet.pl".)
