The dlnasrc element needs to be used both inside and outside of the WebKit
framework.  There is another gstreamer based media player which is built within
the Rygel framework that also needs the dlnasrc element.

It sounds like the cookie and authentication logic is built within the WebKit
framework and not GStreamer.  I imagine it would not be easy to move it to the
gstreamer framework.  Sounds like it will need to be duplicated in GStreamer?

In terms of your comment - "work with any HTTP source element that provides a
specific interface", can you give an example of what you meant by "specific
interface"?  

Thinking in terms of implementation, the media player's pipeline source would
determine this is a "dlna" server so I need to utilize the "dlna" interface and
include HTTP headers which are specific to dlna.  Or this is an icecast server,
so I need to utilzie the "icecast" interface and include the ice HTTP headers. 
Is that what you were thinking?
