Is there support for digest authentication for RTSP web camera?

I have a Samsung SNP 3120 web camera. It supports RTSP but it requires digest authentication. There is no option in the camera to turn off authentication.

The problem is: the is on option in the VideoCapture API to set the type of authentication. It just has a property for username and password.

As a consequence, when I run the sample Video Capture application, it will hang. And I suspect it is because the camera is expecting the client application to send the digest authentication information.

Any suggestion? Can it be fixed or can I write an extension that will fix this problem?

Thanks.

BTW: I also tried putting the username & password on the URL and got the same result. Here is what I tried:

rtsp://admin:4321@[ip-address]:4520/profile1/media.smp

Errors/Warnings:
Unable to set URL to network FFMPEG source filter.
Unable to connect video sample grabber
Unable to run filter graph. Error code: 80040212

I can't share my camera yet because it is inside a firewall. I will have to talk to the admin to see if they will allow us.

BTW: For testing purposes, I used VLC to connect to the camera. I pass the authentication thru the url i.e., rtsp://username:4321@192.168.1.255/rest-of-the-url/stream and it works. It might be a simple bug to fix if your SDK is using LibVLC. (Just FYI)
