parseRTSPRequestString() in liveMedia/RTSPCommon.cpp

I happen to know this because deep down on my wishlist is factoring RTSP 
URL parsing out into a class that a liblivemedia user could override to 
change this behavior.

The RTSP RFC doesn't tell you what anything past the slash separating 
the host parts from the path parts means.  So, the current behavior is 
correct, and the behavior you desire instead is correct, too.  There 
just needs to be a way to have it both ways.
