If possible, I will update the supplied code to make it possible to do what you want.  However, I will not be doing the following:

> Ok, thank you. I'll wait for the new release.

We do not provide a general “TLS client”.  We provide a RTSP client, that can (optionally) use TLS to set up a RTSP connection.

A client accesses a RTSP connection using a “rtsp://“ or “rtsps://“ URL - only.  There is no provision in the RTSP protocol for a client to also use its own certificate file, in addition to the URL. 

> The proposition is something similar to RTSPServer.setTLSStat() but at client side.

(This is just like HTTP - a web browser uses just a URL; it doesn’t also use a certificate file.)  Allowing the client to do this would be creating a new, non-standard protocol.

> Both Firefox and Chrome HTTP browsers allow to set private CA files in their security setting :)
