[Bug 758922] rtspconnection should optionally make HTTP requests with abs_path instead of absoluteURI

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

--- Comment #4 from Evan Callaway <evan.callaway at ipconfigure.com> ---
Okay, I believe I have a good understanding of it now.  In 5.1.2 the HTTP/1.1
spec it is fairly clear:

- The absoluteURI form is REQUIRED when the request is being made to a proxy
- HTTP/1.1 clients will only generate [absoluteURIs] in requests to proxies

So even though it would be non-ambiguous to use the shorter relative URI with a
Host header, we are still supposed to use absolute URIs when talking to
proxies, presumably for backwards compatibility with HTTP/1.0.

I will take a look at building out these changes.
