will do so by closing the TCP connection"</i> is strong enough.
What i'm actually seeing is that sometimes the liveness is sent but
no response is received, and the backend connection seems to be
still alive because the proxy doesn't detect any closure, but the
connection is not really working. This is a problem, because you
can't stream the video throught this proxyRTSPClient anymore, so, i
think that would be useful to have a timeout task to control how
long should the proxy wait the liveness response in order to reset
such connections.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div>Yes, I will probably make such a change sometime in the future.<div><br></div><div>You should note, though, that if a back-end server fails in this way (by not responding to RTSP commands at all, even though the TCP connection remains open), then chances are that any further connection attempt (from the proxy server) will also fail. So you really can't expect a client to be able to receive the stream anymore.</div><br><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
