[streaming] Re: [vlc] FW: RTSP with Digest authentication (MD5-sess algorithm)

[Greg J. Ogonowski]

The Microsoft Windows Media Server RTSP implementation is not RFC compliant.

Are you trying to set up a stream to Microsoft 
Windows Media Server, and play it with Microsoft 
Windows Media Player?  AFAIK, this can only be 
done using the Microsoft Encoder SDK which uses 
the proprietary Microsoft ASF protocol, 
controlled by Microsoft proprietary RTSP.

Please correct me if I am incorrect.
