            Bug ID: 746382
           Summary: souphttpsrc: Use proxy username/password from
                    http_proxy
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-good
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: kameyameha at gmail.com
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

http_proxy variable may also contain proxy username & password in below format:

<protocol>://<username>:<password>@<proxy ip>:<proxy port>

souphttpsrc only sets proxy url (<proxy ip> & <proxy port>) is http_proxy
variable is defined in environment but not proxy-id and proxy-pw.

Problem I am facing is "proxy authentication required 407" while testing
MPEG-DASH, which plays a .mpd located outside my company network.

dashdemux, for fetching a segment, uses gst_element_make_from_uri(). Now I have
no way to set proxy-id/proxy-pw on this particular souphttpsrc instance, due to
which segment fetching fails.

If souphttpsrc may start parsing proxy-id/proxy-pw using below functions from
soup library:
soup_uri_get_user()
soup_uri_get_password()
then my issue would be resolved.
