Bug ID: 761099
Summary: http: cookies sharing in the pipeline
Classification: Platform
Product: GStreamer
Version: git master
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: gst-plugins-base
Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: thiagossantos at gmail.com
QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
GNOME version: ---
Currently if there are multiple http source elements in a pipeline they will
all use independent connections, causing their cookies to be also independent.
This can be harmful when those elements are communicating with the same service
and this service uses some kind of cookie-based feature, causing the
connections to be rejected or not working as expected.
One particular use case is for adaptive streaming for servers that set some
cookie on the playlist/manifest and then check that the cookie exists in
subsequent requests to the fragments.
A test server that does this verification can be found at:
https://github.com/thiagoss/adaptive-test-server.
A few bugs that are related/duplicates of this. Decided to open a new one
because the others seem to only attempt to solve partially the problem.
