  GStreamer | gstreamer (core) | Ver: 0.10.12
           Summary: URIs with upper-case protocol don't play
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.12
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: woutersj at gmail.com

     GNOME version: 2.17/2.18
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Please describe the problem:
I can not play MMS URIs with an uppercase protocol part. For example the
following command will not work in Ubuntu Feisty:
"gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=MMS://wm.rbcmp3.com/45599/45599-01.asf"

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a terminal
2. Execute the following command:
"gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=MMS://wm.rbcmp3.com/45599/45599-01.asf"


Actual results:
gst-launch exits with the following output:

Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
ERROR: Pipeline doesn't want to pause.
ERROR: from element /playbin0: A MMS protocol source plugin is required to play
this stream, but not installed.
Additional debug info:
gstplaybasebin.c(1581): gen_source_element (): /playbin0:
No URI handler for MMS
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
FREEING pipeline ...

Expected results:
The same command but with lower case protocol starts playing music with the
following output:
jeroen at jeroen-desktop:~$ gst-launch-0.10 playbin
uri=mms://wm.rbcmp3.com/45599/45599-01.asf
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstAudioSinkClock


Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
I have fixed this problem by lower-casing the protocol part in the function 
gst_uri_get_protocol, before having it compared to the feature list in the
registry. This may not be a perfect solution, but it works for me.
