3.3 RTSP Over HTTP

RTSP can be tunnelled over HTTP. This might prove necessary in order to pass firewalls 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).
