How to specify RTSP/RTP-over-HTTP in a web page embedded object?

I have the following HTML in a web page, to play a stream (from a DSS) via RTSP/RTP:

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="146"
CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab";>
<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="foo.mov">
<PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="true">
<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="false">
<EMBED SRC="foo.mov" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="146" AUTOPLAY="true" CONTROLLER="false" PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/";>
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

where "foo.mov" is a QuickTime movie file that contains an embedded "rtsp://"; URL that points to a DSS. This works OK. However, I'd like to be able to *force* the QuickTime player (embedded within the client's browser web page) to stream using RTSP/RTP-over-HTTP. How can I do this?

I've found that one way to do this is have the client first start up the QuickTime Player application, and then use its "Edit"/"Preferences"/"QuickTime Preferences"/"Streaming Transport" menu to select the "Use HTTP" option. Then, after closing QuickTime Player, the next time the client accesses the web page, he'll automatically get RTSP/RTP-over-HTTP.

But how can I do this without requiring the client to explicitly configure the QuickTime Player application first?
