Testing has always been a pain because the RTMP servers are proprietary.
Really the only usable open source RTMP server code is in librtmp itself.
I am not blaming anyone and I'm not complaining. I'm just stating how I view
the situation.
A) curl has no RTMP tests
B) librtmp has no tests
C) librtmp has almost no documentation
D) distros ship librtmp build from git since it makes no releases
This makes RTMP support a weak spot in the curl protocol family. Since this is
a protocol with few users and no one is stepping up to help fix the identified
weaknesses, I think dropping RTMP is a sensible choice.
