CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI(3) Library Functions Manual
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) 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_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);
}
}
