Well, RTSP is two-way and keeps state. HTTP only allows clients to send
requests and doesn't keep state....

I woduln't rule it out - RTSP is specced to "support the same sort of
caching as HTTP" - but it's probably going to be a hack.

Ask me in a few days - though - by a WILD coincidence, I'm hacking on rtsp
