Describe the issue

I'm currently trying mediamtx, and I wanted to try the WHEP ingest function.
To do so, I used VDO.Ninja service, that is known to work very well as a WebRTC streaming service.
Unfortunately, this service responds to WHEP resquests with the following Content-Type header: application/sdp; charset=utf-8.
Mediamtx does not like it, as it expects exactly application/sdp as Content-Type, and the content is not retrieved.

Describe how to replicate the issue

Add this snippet to the mediamtx configuration:

paths:
  vdoninja:
    source: wheps://whep.vdo.ninja/p827NUkn
    sourceFingerprint: 37D9BBAC4946965FE430AD3AA2822ACCEE6D604056B03E5913C1BF94F3881ACE

After launching the stream using VDO.Ninja -- Host a VDO.Ninja stream as a WHEP source with the WHEP token p827NUkn, and starting the mediamtx container, it fails with the following message:

ERR [path vdoninja] [WebRTC source] bad Content-Type: expected 'application/sdp', got 'application/sdp; charset=utf-8'

Did you attach the server logs?

Did you attach a network dump?

no

why? the network traffic is encrypted with TLS, therefore, we cannot observe the headers/data transmitted.

Others

I might create a PR if I have the time and if I figure out a solution to this issue.

Suggested changes:

• Remove this line

  mediamtx/internal/protocols/webrtc/whip_client.go

  Line 288 in 2bd8ac7

  if contentType != "application/sdp" {

• Replace it with a check for strings.Trim(strings.Split(contentType, ";")[0]) != "application/sdp"

#3274 helps but unfortunately it stiil does not work with VDO.ninja. The next error is:

2024/04/19 10:03:58 ERR [path vdoninja] [WebRTC source] wrong Accept-Patch: expected 'application/trickle-ice-sdpfrag', got ''

It certainly necessitates another issue, but I'm unsure if it is an error of mediamtx or VDO.Ninja.
