NAME

6       CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI - RTSP stream URI
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <curl/curl.h>
10
11       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI, char *URI);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Set  the  stream URI to operate on by passing a char * . For example, a
15       single  session  may  be   controlling   rtsp://foo/twister/audio   and
16       rtsp://foo/twister/video  and  the application can switch to the appro‐
17       priate stream using this option. If unset, libcurl will default to  op‐
18       erating  on  generic  server options by passing '*' in the place of the
19       RTSP Stream URI. This option  is  distinct  from  CURLOPT_URL(3).  When
20       working with RTSP, the CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI(3) indicates what URL to
21       send to the server in the request header while the CURLOPT_URL(3) indi‐
22       cates  where  to  make the connection to.  (e.g. the CURLOPT_URL(3) for
23       the above examples might be set to rtsp://foo/twister
24
25       The application does not have to keep the string around  after  setting
26       this option.

38         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "rtsp://example.com/");
39         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI,
40                          "rtsp://foo.example.com/twister/video");
