Hello,

I would like to set up an RTSP server with authentication. As far as I
understand, the protocol itself supports the usual authentication modes
of HTTP.

I had a quick look at the sources (disclaimer: just at the 1.04 sources
yet!), and have the impression that it is a doable task.

Now I would like to do it in a way that it's useful to the whole
project, if it seems acceptable.

My approach (which I'd like to discuss here) would be to insert some
simple hooks (at the point of authentication and may be at the point of
session teardown) which call into some plugin-registered functions doing
the actual legwork (in my case, they'd do a lookup against a database).

Opinions? Flames?

Thanks
