RTSP-over-HTTP is implemented, but is not enabled in our RTSP servers 
'by default'.  Instead, you have to enable this functionality, by 
calling
	RTSPServer::setUpTunnelingOverHTTP()
on your RTSP server, specifying a port number for RTSP-over-HTTP 
(which must be different from the port number used for regular 
RTSP-over-TCP).

See, for example, the code at the end of
	"mediaServer/live555MediaServer.cpp"
You could easily add code like this to "wis-streamer", if you wished.
