           Summary: configurable user agent for network elements
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)

Some streaming servers tune their replies based on the user-agent they
received.
For that purpose souphttpsrc has "user-agent" and even "extra-headers"
properties. rtspsrc does not have any of this (yet).

Also this mechanism would require the application to set it, while I wonder if
it makes sense to have a configure flag to set the user-agent (and put that
into gstconfig.h). if the configure is not given we use "GStreamer/0.10".
Having a more detailed version (including base and ev. the plugin in use) would
need to be build differently.
