[gst-devel] HTTP source plugin

[David SIORPAES]

Hi Christian,

yes, I also guess that it would be easier (and more valuable) to port my 
application to 0.10 - so I will take that route.
Is there any sort of "Moving gstreamer applications to 0.10" guide 
around ? that would save me some time..

thanks & regards,


David S.
