[Live-devel] [live555] doesn't call closeSockets after 404 File not found for rtsp over tcp

>> In any case, because this ‘problem’ occurs when there’s a “404 not found” error (i.e. an incorrect “rtsp://“ URL was given somewhere), this doesn’t seem like a serious issue.

A 404 error is a perfectly valid response when an rtsp source is unavailable (during a power failure or maintenance or a plethora of valid issues). 404 does not mean the URL is malformed or incorrect in some way (that's what 400 is for) - it means the source is just not there.  Since our system must automatically reconnect once the source is available, leaking sockets seems like it is a serious issue.   According to Wiki: "404 Not Found - The requested resource could not be found but may be available in the future. Subsequent requests by the client are permissible."
