For some reason, it is sending two different copies of each "DESCRIBE" request.<div><br></div><div>In particular, it is sending, in order:</div><div>- a RTSP "DESCRIBE" command, with CSeq 1. The server (correctly) responds to this with a "401 Unauthorized" response.</div><div>- a different RTSP "DESCRIBE", but also with CSeq 1. This is wrong. The server also responds to this with "401 Unauthorized"</div><div>- a RTSP "DESCRIBE" request, with CSeq 2, that follows up to the first "DESCRIBE", including proper cryptographic credentials.</div><div>- a different RTSP "DESCRIBE" request, with CSeq 2, that follows up to the second "DESCRIBE", including proper cryptographic credentials. Again, this is wrong.</div><div><br></div><div>I.e., this "Milestone" client is behaving in an incorrect, non-standard way. That doesn't excuse the server crashing; even incorrect client behavior should never cause the server to crash. However, you should contact your client's manufacturer, asking them to fix their client.</div><br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
