Hello,

I've been trying to write my own RTSP client using libcurl. My
application works fine when used with live555MediaServer, however I am
not able to negotiate with MediaHawk VoD server correctly. The problem
is with the DESCRIBE response - there is an extra '\r\n' after SDP. curl
library returns this extra '\r\n' as a response to the next RTSP command
(SETUP) and fails. The actual response to SETUP is returned prepended to
TEARDOWN response if I issue one.

Is this a bug in libcurl, mediahawk server or my program? If this is a
bug in the server is there any way to work-around it using libcurl?

I am using version 7.20.1 of libcurl. Below is the output I get:
