            Bug ID: 771830
           Summary: There is no time out in idle connection RTSP server
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-rtsp-server
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: opaque.se at gmail.com
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

The RTSP server will not timeout an idle RTSP connection (note this is
different from doing timeout on a RTSP session).

At least for Apache this is a problem when running RTSP over HTTPS since it
uses one of the threads (there is a rather limited number) that are available
for handling requests.

Actual behavior:
No timeout

Expected behavior:
Timeout (i.e.the RTSP server closes the connection if no command is received).

With e.g. telnet you can tests this.

1) Run “telnet 192.168.0.184 80”
2) Write the following HTTP request to start the RTSP connection
GET /axis-media/media.amp HTTP/1.0
Accept: application/x-rtsp-tunnelled
x-sessioncookie: 1212

3) Wait …
