NAME

CURLOPT_RTSP_SESSION_ID - RTSP session ID

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RTSP_SESSION_ID, char *id);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char pointer as a parameter to set the value of the current RTSP Session ID for the handle. Useful for resuming an in-progress session. Once this value is set to any non-NULL value, libcurl returns CURLE_RTSP_SESSION_ERROR if ID received from the server does not match. If unset (or set to NULL), libcurl automatically sets the ID the first time the server sets it in a response. The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

DEFAULT

NULL

PROTOCOLS

This functionality affects rtsp only

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
char *prev_id; /* saved from before somehow */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "rtsp://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RTSP_SESSION_ID, prev_id);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in curl 7.20.0

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
