[Live-devel] openRTSP + Apache + mediaServer

[Ross Finlayson]

In general, I see no reason why RTSP-over-HTTP would not work through a HTTP proxy.

However, I'm confused by your last statement:
> Is there any other possibility in order to support RTSP over HTTP and a web service over 80 port in the same machine?

By this, do you mean a RTSP-over-HTTP client (e.g., "openRTSP"), or a RTSP server (such as ours) that supports RTSP-over-HTTP?

Obviously, a RTSP server cannot use port 80 for RTSP-over-HTTP if there is already a HTTP server on the same machine that also uses port 80.  No 'proxying' can make that possible.

Note, though, that our server code (as illustrated by the "live555MediaServer" and "testOnDemandRTSPServer" applications) will not use a port number for RTSP-over-HTTP (or for just plain RTSP) if there is already another server on the same machine using that port.


However, there's no reason why a RTSP-over-HTTP client (such as "openRTSP") can't access a *remote* RTSP server over port 80, even if there is already a HTTP server running on the client's machine.  (Just as long as there isn't a HTTP server (using port 80) already running on the *remote* machine.)  You should not need a proxy to do this.
