Hi Ross,
Yes I understand that it is an issue with VLC and not with Live555.
I'm not asking for any changes to the Live555 library.
I am asking whether it is possible to configure my Live555 RTSP server
to ignore the case of stream names in URL's as a workaround for the VLC
problem because we don't have a requirement for stream name case
sensitivity.

No, this seems to be a problem specific to VLC (which is not our
software). As far as I can tell (from the link that you included),
the problem is that VLC is storing old URLs somewhere, and then doing
a case-insensitive match when checking whether a newly-entered URL has
been used before (and then - if there's a match - reusing the previous
URL rather than the new URL). This appears to be happening outside
the LIVE555 software (which VLC uses when its acting as a LIVE555 client).
If, however, you can identify a specific problem with the LIVE555 code
(identifiable by using LIVE555 RTSP client code - e.g., "openRTSP" or
"testRTSPClient" - only), then let us know.
If, on the other hand, you're asking that LIVE555 RTSP *servers*
ignore the case of stream names in URLs, then the answer is again No -
because some server developers might want to allow their server to
support more than one stream, whose names differ in case. (Also,
stream names might be 'internationalized' - i.e., encoded as UTF-8 -
and case-insensitive comparison might not work (or work incorrectly)
if performed on UTF-8 stream names.)
