CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI(3) Introduction to Library Functions

NAME

CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI - RTSP stream URI

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI, char *URI);

DESCRIPTION

Set the stream URI to operate on by passing a char * . For example, a
single session may be controlling rtsp://foo/twister/audio and
rtsp://foo/twister/video and the application can switch to the
appropriate stream using this option. If unset, libcurl defaults to
operating on generic server options by passing '*' in the place of
the RTSP Stream URI. This option is distinct from CURLOPT_URL(3).
When working with RTSP, the CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI(3) indicates what
URL to send to the server in the request header while the
CURLOPT_URL(3) indicates where to make the connection to. (e.g. the
CURLOPT_URL(3) for the above examples might be set to
rtsp://foo/twister

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
this option.

Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override
the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.

DEFAULT

"*"

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects rtsp only

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "rtsp://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI,
"rtsp://foo.example.com/twister/video");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.20.0
