Re: gst-rtsp-server Tunnel over HTTP

Hi Alan

GstRTSPServer supports HTTP tunneling by default, but the client is the one that needs to initiate the tunnel request. For example, using GStreamer as the client you can initiate RTSP over HTTP as:

gst-play-1.0 rtsph://$IP_ADDRESS:$PORT/$MAPPING

(Note the h in rtsph)

In VLC, for example, you would go to Settings -> Show All -> Input / Codecs -> Demuxers -> RTP / RTSP -> Tunnel RTP and RTSP over HTTP

However, when I searched the code base I only found gst_rtsp_server_transfer_connection() which doesn't seem to be called from anywhere in the code base :(
