3.3 RTSP Over HTTP
RTSP can be tunnelled over HTTP. This might prove necessary in order to pass rewalls etc. To tunnel RTSP over HTTP, two sessions
are set up; one GET (for command replies and stream data) and one POST (for commands). RTSP commands sent on the POST
connection are base64 encoded, but the replies on the GET connection are in plain text. To bind the two sessions together the
Axis product needs a unique ID (conveyed in the x-sessioncookie header). The GET and POST requests are accepted on both the
HTTP port (default 80) and the RTSP server port (default 554).
