Hi, I’m trying to stream an IP Cam via RTSP.
While authenticating, the streaming plugin fails to negotiate the WWW-Authenticate header correctly.
Meetecho Janus (WebRTC Server) v1.1.4
root@cb7f2c9b3742:/ dpkg -l | grep -i curl
ii libcurl4:amd64 7.74.0-1.3+deb11u7 amd64 easy-to-use client-side URL transfer library (OpenSSL flavour)
The mobotix cam tells the client (janus) it wants digest auth, the client ignores this, auth fails and the source is skipped:

Trying this with other clients looks like this, DESCRIBE: 401 → Digest → DESCRIBE: description
