RTSP over HTTP/HTTPS

The key of RTSP over HTTP is to allow RTSP packets to communicate via HTTP port. We know that the standard port of RTSP is 554, but due to various security policy configurations such as firewalls, there may be restrictions when the client accesses port 554, which prevents the normal transmission of RTSP packets. But the HTTP port (port 80) is generally open, so there is the idea of letting RTSP packets pass through port 80, namely RTSP over HTTP.
