When connecting to a server that doesn't respond, or is just slow, the timeout appears to be around 25s, i.e. the time before the response handler is called.
Is there a way to decrease this time? Why? Well, in the project I'm working on there are lots of changing cameras that are on a 10s cycle, so there is no need to try for more than 10s. While I assume it should be ok to call shutdown() while the client is still trying (and stop the event loop etc), it would be beneficial to be able to wait for the response handler to return. I've seen some lingering connections in rare cases, which most likely is due to my code, but it would nonetheless be nicer to always wait for the response handler. These yet unexplained lingering connections happens for maybe 1 stream out of 20000. When looking in the code the only somewhat related variable or function I see is the sessionTimeoutParameter which doesn't seem to have anything with the connection timeout to do. Two testRTSPClient examples below. In the first I just connect to an arbitrary URL where there is no server that responds, and it takes about 25s before the response handler is called. In the second example our Cisco VSM is bogged down and it takes 30s for it to respond. e:\projects\live\Release>testRTSPClient.exe rtsp://ibm.com/moo !!! fInputSocketNum -1 Opening connection to 129.42.38.1, port 554... !!! connectResult 0 ...Connection to server failed: Unknown error [URL:"rtsp://ibm.com/moo"]: Failed to get a SDP description: Connection to server failed: Unknown error [URL:"rtsp://ibm.com/moo"]: Closing the stream. e:\projects\live\Release>testRTSPClient.exe rtsp://192.168.1.103/live/TVF-16 !!! fInputSocketNum -1 Opening connection to 192.168.1.103, port 554... !!! connectResult 0 ...remote connection opened !!! fInputSocketNum 124 Sending request: DESCRIBE rtsp://192.168.1.103/live/TVF-16 RTSP/1.0 CSeq: 2 User-Agent: testRTSPClient.exe (LIVE555 Streaming Media v2012.09.13) Accept: application/sdp Received 61 new bytes of response data.
