[Bug 746382] souphttpsrc: Use proxy username/password from http_proxy

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746382

--- Comment #13 from Rajat Verma <kameyameha at gmail.com> ---
I don't know whether I have been able to present the problem in clear way, so
here is another go at it (my last one):

Inside gstadaptivedemux.c, below code is present:

gst_adaptive_demux_stream_update_source (...)
...
stream->src = gst_element_make_from_uri (GST_URI_SRC, uri, NULL, NULL);
...
gst_bin_add (GST_BIN_CAST (demux), stream->src);


This implies, say when playing a dash stream using http, containing one audio
and one video track, it will create one souphttpsrc instance for each of
stream.
Now these internal souphttpsrc instances are not added to pipeline demux is
part of, but rather added to internal pipeline of dashdemux, via below line:

gst_bin_add (GST_BIN_CAST (demux), stream->src);

Issue I have is how to set proxy credentials (proxy_id, proxy_pw) on these
internal souphttpsrc instances?

For solving this issue, I have already suggested a patch, which uses already
available soup APIs to parse username/password from http_proxy variable.

If this is not acceptable, kindly suggest approach which works. But kindly
don't leave this in a limbo...
