They are very confusing for people, and more often than not
also just not very accurate. Seeing 'last reviewed: 2005' in
your docs is not very confidence-inspiring. Let's just remove
those comments.
We added a minimum length of three letters originally so we would
fail to recognise DOS/Windows-style filenames as valid URIs (as we
should). Two should be just fine as well.
No one but filesrc used that API. Should probably be replaced by
requiring an "uri" property instead, and then objects can do a
notify on that. Also removed interface structure padding, it's
not needed.
Add function that (unlike the GLib equivalent) also accepts paths that
aren't absolute and will clean up relative markers such as ./ and ../
before forming a URI.
Fixes warnings with e.g. filesrc location=foo ! typefind caused by the
recent switch to g_filename_to_uri(), but also actually creates valid
URIs for the first time.
Windows code paths could need some more work, e.g. we don't clean up
the relative markers there for now (because path could have \ and /
as separators).
API: gst_filename_to_uri()
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gsturi.c:
Be more liberal in what URIs we accept.
Do not unescape bits of the URI for no apparent reason before passing to
the element. Fixes#545352.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gsturi.c: (gst_uri_get_protocol):
Fix leak: g_strdown operates on the string in place, while
g_ascii_strdown() returns a newly-allocated string.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gsturi.c: (gst_uri_protocol_check_internal),
(gst_uri_get_protocol), (gst_uri_has_protocol),
(gst_uri_construct), (gst_uri_handler_set_uri):
A valid URI scheme can also include '+', '-' and '.' additional
to alphanumeric characters as per RFC 3986 Section 3.1.
Handle URI schemes case insensitive in all places and convert
to lower-case when constructing an URI or setting an URI with
the GstURIHandler interface. Fixes bug #528868.
All elements can still assume (as before) that they will
get passed URIs with a lower-case URI scheme by the GstURIHandler
interface.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gsturi.c: (gst_uri_handler_get_protocols):
Use the get_protocols_full vfunc if get_protocols is NULL. Fixes
URIHandlers implemented using language bindings.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gsturi.c: (gst_uri_get_location):
If there's no hostname, we want to return 'c:/foo/bar.txt'
and not '/c:/foo/bar.txt' on Windows. Fixes#469402.
* tests/check/gst/gsturi.c:
Unit test for the above and a few more things.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstindexfactory.c: (gst_index_factory_get_type):
* gst/gstplugin.c: (gst_plugin_init):
* gst/gstpluginfeature.c: (gst_plugin_feature_init):
* gst/gstquery.c: (gst_query_get_type):
* gst/gstregistry.c: (gst_registry_init):
* gst/gsturi.c: (gst_uri_handler_base_init):
Remove empty instance_init() functions to save relocs and lessen the
noise. Remove some of the function prototypes that are doubled by
G_DEFINE_TYPE.
Original commit message from CVS:
Patch by: Jeroen Wouters <woutersj at gmail com>
* gst/gsturi.c: (gst_uri_get_protocol), (search_by_entry):
Treat protocol strings in a case-insensitive way (#437563).
Original commit message from CVS:
* docs/gst/gstreamer-sections.txt:
* gst/gsturi.c: (get_element_factories_from_uri_protocol),
(gst_uri_protocol_is_supported), (gst_element_make_from_uri):
* gst/gsturi.h:
API: Add gst_uri_protocol_is_supported(), which checks if an sink
or src that supports a given URI protocol exists.
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gsturi.c: (search_by_entry):
Don't assert/crash here if a uri handler doesn't return any
supported protocols. The list of protocols could be generated
dynamically at runtime or at plugin registration, and an error
in the underlying library shouldn't be fatal (#353301).
Original commit message from CVS:
* gst/gstregistryxml.c: (read_string):
Avoid strdup. (will happen in libxml, but hey!)
* gst/gsturi.c:
Add some more docs.
