This is different, because it uses a different mechanism than playbin does. If
you use the location property directly you can use any protocol gnomevfs
supports. There's another mechanism though, namely the GstUriHandler interface
+ gst_element_make_from_uri(). This works (sort of) via a whitelist of
protocols that each element can advertise to support, and which is then stored
in the registry. For GnomeVFS we have a fixed list of protocols for this
purpose. HTTPS is not in that list (which is just an oversight), so
gst_element_make_from_uri() won't pick gnomevfssrc for https:// URIs.

Dead easy to fix, but we're frozen currently.

(dav/davs are also not in that list, but that's because I didn't consider them
stable/reliably enough when I last tried).
