That's right, every TLS connection fails in my project. But gst-launch works
after copying ca-certificates.crt in C:\gstreamer\1.0\x86_64\etc\ssl\certs
Here is command line: gst-launch-1.0 -v souphttpsrc
location=https://protectedurl/forthisbugreport ! filesink location=C:/some.key

It seems gnutls and openssl both need a ca-certificate file which should be
usually located in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt. Many people are still
looking where to put this file on windows, as those libraries have no builtin
fallback.

So I would like to give glib-schannel a try, but I can't find a prebuilt dll,
so I am trying to build it with meson. But build crash with following error
message:
  File "C:\python\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x90 in position 913:
character maps to <undefined>

Sebastian, as you're glib-schannel author, could you share glib-schannel
prebuilt dll please ?
