<div>The "LIVE555 Media Server" application - unmodified -
does not support these functions. However, many of them could be
added by doing some programming.</div>

<div>There's no archiving mechanism built in; you would need to write
this.</div>

<div><br></div>
<div>Our existing code does not support this. To support this,
you would probably need to subclass "RTSPServer" and
redefine the "authenticationOK()" virtual function.
You might also need to subclass
"UserAuthenticationDatabase".</div>
