The HTTP server could give wrong information, e.g. if the HTTP stream is
chunk-encoded or compressed, or if the server does not know the complete size
at the time when the file is requested by the client.

Answer to scheduling queries with default parameters and the new
_BANDWIDTH_LIMITED_FLAG so that downstream is advised to minimize seek
operations and perform on-disk buffering if possible.
Bug 693484
In 1.0 we now always send the icecast request headers by default, which
makes the server send icecasts metadata inserted into the stream if it
supports that. However, there are some use cases where this is not
desirable, like when just saving a radio stream to disk, so add back
the "iradio-mode" property to allow people to disable this.

Apparently there's no reason to use it any longer. Drop libsoup-gnome
dependency while at it, now that we don't need anything from it any
more (it only consists entirely of deprecated API now anyways).

When receiving an error code from the http server, such as 404,
data might be sent along with it, like a web page. We don't want
to output that data in this case, and we also want to pass the
FLOW_ERROR return back to the base class, so it can stop properly.

Leave it to the application to decide on the header. No header at all
is better than having the wrong header as DLNA mandates that a missing
header has to be tolerated while a wrong header is an error.

Consider a downstream element that may issue seeks in very short
succession (e.g. queue2), depending on the access pattern of
the downstream element (e.g. qtdemux with audio/video chunks
interleaved so that there's always a sizeable gap between the
current chunks for each stream). In this case, queue2 will maintain
two ranges, and even when it serves a chunk from memory, it will
switch ranges and make souphttpsrc seek to the end of the available
data for that range, assuming that that's where we'll want to
continue reading from next.
This may lead to the following seek request pattern:
- source reading position A
- seek to B
- now reading position still A, requested_postion is B
- streaming thread to be restarted to continue from B
- seek to A, before streaming thread had time to do the seek
- do_seek() now sees reading position == seek position and
returns early.
- however, requested position is still B from the earlier
seek request
- streaming thread starts up, sees that a seek to B is pending
and requests data from B from the server, while the GstBaseSrc
segment has of course been updated/reset to position A, which
was the last seek request.
- we will now send data for position B and pretend that's the
data from position A (via the newsegment event, etc.)
- this causes data corruption
Reproducible doing seek-emulated fast-forward/backward on 006648.
Add private replacements for deprecated functions such as
g_mutex_new(), g_mutex_free(), g_cond_new() etc., mostly
to avoid the deprecation warnings. We'll change these
over to the new API once we depend on glib >= 2.32.
Fix crash or hang in generic/states unit test when doing stop()
right after start(). Create main loop in the start function already
and not just in the thread function, so that stop() always has a
valid main loop to quit on. Also, calling g_main_loop_quit() before
g_main_loop_run() won't work and result in the stop function waiting
for the thread to join forever. Therefore, wait for the thread to
be ready and get the main loop running in the start() function, to
be sure stop() always works.
Error messages should be translated. URIs and filenames should not
be part of the error message string that's shown to the user.
soup_message->reason_phrase is not translated and not suitable as
error message for users (see libsoup documentation). Also fix up
error codes a bit, as far as possible with the existing codes.
Before they contained the URL before the actual failure. The other
way around makes more sense and we do the same in other elements
like filesrc.
Fixes bug #627289.
Previously seekability way always assumed until the first seek actually
failed. Now we assume that all servers are not seekable unless they provide
a Content-Length header. If a seek fails after that we continue to
assume no seekability. Fixes bug #585576.
When "Content-Type" header is "audio/L16", we need to set the caps on the
outgoing buffers so that downstream elements can have means to detect the
stream type and handle it appropriately. Tested with HTTP stream provided
by pulse-audio's http module (git master).
This allows to set the Referer header among other things by
adding a "extra-headers" property that takes a GstStructure
with field=string pairs.
Fixes bug #581806.
Link to properties. Correct titles for examples. Document a few trivial cases. Keep lists in section file and docs/plugins/Makefile.am alphabetically ordered. Fix warnings that gtk-doc points out.
If libsoup-gnome is found use this as it will give us
the GNOME proxy configuration. Otherwise use normal
libsoup.
The GNOME proxy configuration will only be used if
the proxy properties are not set on souphttpsrc
and if the http_proxy environment variable is not
set.
Fixes bug #552140.

Add transferMode.dnla.org header to HTTP requests as this is
required by the DLNA specs and doesn't hurt in other situations.

Original commit message from CVS:

Don't throw an error when soup completes a msg with status
'cancelled', as that indicates we cancelled a request while
shutting down or seeking, and it's not an error.

Don't autoplug souphttpsrc for dav/davs. This is better handled by

Don't leak the icy caps if we already set them and get a new
icy-metaint header.
Try harder to set the icy caps on the output buffer to have correct
caps for the first buffer already.
