Well that is exactly the problem. The OPTIONS request doesn't fail 
according to this snippit of the RTSP dialog. However it also doesn't 
return  a list of supported OPTIONS at all. Live555 library thus returns 
NULL although the Windows RTSP server says: "RTSP/1.0 200 OK"

-- snippit --

Sending request: OPTIONS rtsp://193.37.129.197/VLC/Screen1.asf RTSP/1.0

AFAIK live555 libraries doesn't have a way (or API call) to get the 
necessary information to resolve this.
