[Demboski, Benjamin]

Is there an non-gnomevfs http source plugin in 0.10?

Hi David,
Yes, I think the gnomevfssrc is the only one. You might be able to cut
down its dependencies by grabbing some of the patches Nokia made to
gnomevfs to move it to dbus etc., from maemo.org. I have no idea how
well this would work though and I fear you might end up doing more work
that way compared to moving your app to 0.10
