[Bug 746382] souphttpsrc: Use proxy username/password from http_proxy

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

Hello Nicolas,

One more update from my side:

Just checked code of 
- gst-plugins-bad/gst-libs/gst/adaptivedemux/gstadaptivedemux.c
- gst-plugins-bad/gst-libs/gst/uridownloader/uridownloader.c
- gstreamer/gst/gsturi.c

Here, we can see that for playing a MPEG-DASH stream, a new instance of
souphttpsrc is created by dashdemux for each of the streams exposed in manifest
file.

This souphttpsrc instance is created using api gst_element_make_from_uri().

Now the problem is we don't see any where this internal souphttpsrc instance
being added to pipeline. This would pose a problem in way you are suggesting to
fix it (adding sync-message...) as this message approach would only be valid
for elements present in pipeline.

Please feel free if you got any suggestions.
Otherwise, I don't see a way to properly set proxy credentials on this internal
souphttpsrc instance without using http_proxy.
