NAME

CURLOPT_RTSP_TRANSPORT - set RTSP Transport: header

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RTSP_TRANSPORT,
                          char *transport);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char * to tell libcurl what to pass for the Transport: header for this RTSP session. This is mainly a convenience method to avoid needing to set a custom Transport: header for every SETUP request. The application must set a Transport: header before issuing a SETUP request.

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

DEFAULT

NULL
