This seems to be by design: tcpserversink will error out if the first buffer
doesn't have caps set on it (this is so tcpserversink can send stream headers
and the like to newly-connected clients).  I'm not sure if this is really
necessary though, possibly it could just treat no_caps the same as
caps-without-streamheaders, as long as the protocol is not GDP.

In any case, for now you need to do something like this:

  gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=foo.txt ! typefind ! tcpserversink

(which may not work if the file is too small or not in ASCII or UTF-8
encoding), or:

  gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=foo.txt ! text/plain ! tcpserversink

or something similar.
