CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI - RTSP stream URI

Added in curl 7.20.0

"*"

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.

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); } }

This functionality affects rtsp only

curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
