I pass the whole file path to the DESCRIBE command handler, so it
works with the same file name in two separate sub directories, e.g. I
was testing with test5.ts and testdir/test5.ts and could switch back
and forth from VLC fine without restarting live555MediaServer.

Yes, I read the past mails on the list and your responses with links
to the corresponding RFC sections. This patch may need a bit more
testing for odd client corner-cases, but I posted it because it is
fairly unintrusive and "works for me".

Thanks,
Mike
