NAME

     CURLOPT_RTSP_STREAM_URI - set 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) indi-
     cates  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.

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