[Live-devel] Closing connection after DESCRIBE?

[Roman Gaufman]

Hi there,

I'm trying to implement a monit (or equivalent) check that a stream is
available and if not, to check if the camera is alive (with ping) and
report an issue if it's not.

I am sending this to the live555ProxyServer:

DESCRIBE rtsp://localhost/proxyStream RTSP/1.0
CSeq: 1

To which it responds with:

RTSP/1.0 200 OK
CSeq: 1
Date: Tue, Mar 11 2014 10:55:55 GMT
Content-Base: rtsp://127.0.0.1:12347/proxyStream/
Content-Type: application/sdp
Content-Length: 761
...more lines...

So far so good, but then it keeps the connection open indefinitely and my
test fails.

Is there anyway to ask live555ProxyServer to close the connection after the
DESCRIBE? - or to somehow timeout the connection after a few seconds?

Thank you,

Roman
