Another IP address redirection handling
Some IP cameras return 302 Moved Temporarily in response to DESCRIBE or OPTIONS query to redirect a client to another IP address for RTSP connection establishing. WCS supports this feature since build 5.2.179.
In this case, if the IP camera redirects requests to another address, and if client establishes connections separately to this camera and directly to the camera where requests are redirected, it is two different streams for WCS. The pulling agent s are created for every of those streams, and subscribers connect to one of those agents depending on address set on connection establishing.
