[vlc-devel] rtsp-http-port disabled in web plugin

We really need this turned option turned back on. We run apache on port 80
and would really like to be able to specify the http port.

Could someone please fix this? It should only be one line of code since the
logic is already in there, it's just the flag isn't set to allow it to be
exposed to the plugin.

Thanks,
John
