[Live-devel] RTSP over SSL

[Ross Finlayson]

Unfortunately I was mistaken when - a few years ago - I suggested that it would be easy to support RTSP-over-SSL with our libraries.  I had been assuming that the underlying OS makes it possible to create a socket that can be read from/written to using regular socket I/O functions like “recvfrom()”/“sendto()” - i.e., with the underlying OS doing the requisite encryption/decryption automatically.

Unfortunately that’s not the case; I/O over SSL requires special socket I/O operations.  Therefore our libraries do not support RTSP-over-SSL.  Sorry.
