           Summary: problem with authentication for tunneled clients
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.x
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-rtsp-server
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: alexas at axis.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


When clients tunnel rtsp over http, the gst-rtsp-server is handed a socket in
gst_rtsp_server_transfer_connection. The authentication is however not handled
correctly, it will be handled just like for non-tunneled clients and as far as
I understand there will be no more authentication after the tunnel has been set
up?

If this is the case, that rtsp-server should not bother itself with
authentication in the tunneling case, then adding:

  gst_rtsp_client_set_auth (client, NULL);

in gst_rtsp_server_transfer_connection might be sufficient (works for me, but I
cannot judge if there are more use cases).
