--- Comment #1 from Guillaume Desmottes <gdesmott at gnome.org> ---
What's our plan for this?

Adding user-id and user-pw options to the new config object is trivial but
doesn't solve the "ask user about credentials" part.

We could also have this kind of interface implemented by GstPlayer:

gboolean (GstAuthenticationCallBack *) (GstObject *self,
    gchar **user,
    gchar **password,
    gpointer user_data);

void gst_authentication_register_callback (GstObject * self,
    GstAuthenticationCallBack cb,
    gpointer user_data);


What do you mean about "API improvements in the lower layers"? Like having
messages and events asking/providing credentials?
