I am writing a RTSP streaming media server in Perl! :-)
However, I am not able to find any thing about RTSP or RTP in Perl whatsoever, at least no server-side implementations, code, or hints/tips.
I've read RFC 2326 (get it here) on the RTSP protocol, which by the way is very similar to HTTP/1.1. I cannot get RealPlayer or QuickTime player to talk to my server! The server fork()s on incoming requests and is HTTP/1.1-compliant as well as minimally RTSP/1.0-compliant. I am able to recieve data from the RTSP client, but when I send a reply, the clients just hang there, waiting for something... Currently, I am sending replies in several print() statement, would I need to send everything in a buffer? So, in RTSP terms, the RealPlayer client sends an OPTIONS request for a particular file, and then hangs. The QuickTime client sends a DESCRIBE request for a file, but both clients don't respond to my server's reply message! I guess my question is quite vague, but I would appreciate any help, tips, comments, pointers, etc. to lead me in the right direction to writing this server.
Thanks, In reply to RTSP/RTP streaming server in Perl! by amir
