[Live-devel] RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling failed with version v2016.11.17

[Ross Finlayson]

Thanks for the note.  The problem was the line "Connection: close” in the server’s response to the HTTP “GET” command.  Earlier this year, we changed our RTSP client code to tear down (reset) our TCP connections whenever we see such a response.  But that doesn’t make sense when we’re doing RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling, because the (separate) input and output TCP connections that we use for this tunneling need to remain intact throughout the session.

Therefore, I’ve just installed a new version (2016.11.28) of the “LIVE555 Streaming Media” code that should fix this, by ignoring “Connection: close” lines when we’re doing RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling.  This should solve your problem.
