           Summary: soup extension attempts to set proxy from env, but it
                    shouldn't
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.x
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good

The gstreamer soup extension sets the proxy value from the environment, however
in the event of a pac config, it sets an inappropriate value which results in a
name resolution failure in libsoup when trying to use the badly-configured
proxy value.

One of the effects of this is that rhythmbox cannot stream last.fm through a
proxy.  It always whines about a proxy name resolution failure.

If you comment out every call to gst_soup_http_src_set_proxy inside
gst-plugins-good/ext/soup/gstsouphttpsrc.c it streams correctly.  libsoup
handles environment and configured proxies itself, so I think that attempting
to set libsoup's proxy from the env in gstreamer is redundant.
