The problem is that your server is including - in its response to the client's RTSP "DESCRIBE" command - a "Content-Length:" header that specifies a response payload content (in this case a "SDP description") that's much too big.

You should be able to see this clearly by noting the "Content-Length:" header in the response that's received by "testRTSPClient".

I.e., the problem is that your server is broken.  (If you had used our software to implement your server, then you would not have had this problem :-)
