           Summary: rtsp-client: remove query part from the content-base
                    url
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 1.0.6
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-rtsp-server

When the RTSP request url contains a query string (the meaning of query part in
the RTSP url is not defined in RFC 2326), this query part will be a part of a
content-base url string, terminated by a final "/" (this is a valid url
format). The problem starts when the relative url (control url in SDP) is about
to be resolved => the control url becomes a part of a query string in the final
url.

Possible solutions to this problem:

1. remove the query part from the content-base string (the attached patch
suggests this solution).

2. let the control url be an absolute url: this solution simplifies the whole
process of resolving the relative url (see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1808,
4. Resolving Relative URLs, Step 2b).
