You need to tunnel RTSP through HTTP. The problem is, as a client, you are
relying on the server to support HTTP 'cloaking' (as Real terms it) by
streaming through a port that is allowed through by the proxy.

Then the secondary issue is how the proxy then maps through to the origin
server, assuming it supports stream tunneling through HTTP. Note that the
client will open two HTTP connections to the server, presumably one for
the control channel and the other for data.
