CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI(3)          libcurl         CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI(3)


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 will default 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.


DEFAULT

       '*'


PROTOCOLS

       RTSP


EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "rtsp://example.com/");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI,
                          "rtsp://foo.example.com/twister/video");
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
