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.

DEFAULT

       "*"

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects rtsp only

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {

         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);
         }
       }
