I would not like to bloat my system with all the gnome libraries this plugin depends on so I am trying to sort out an alternative. Old fashioned glib-based gsthttpsrc element is not there anymore, whereas the neon-based plugin "gstneonhttp" is only available in 0.10 "bad" plugins package.

However, it's fairly likely to be better for you to upgrade your application(s) instead - 0.10 simply works a lot better, more reliably, and the existing plugins are generally more stable and better supported. Also, I doubt anyone will be interested in helping you with 0.8 at all - if you choose this route, you'll be entirely on your own. Mike </pre> </blockquote> Hi, thanks for your prompt reply. I will check the effort required to upgrade my gstreamer applications to 0.10 and move on. Can you confirm the only way to have an HTTP source in 0.8.12 is to instantiate a gnomevfssrc element ? thanks & regards, David S. </body> </html>
