 I also needed that; however, in the end you'd need to implement a webserver 
in this plugin (parse HTTP headers, parse URLs, support SSL, ...).  So in the 
end I just wrote a php script that opens a UNIX socket and communicates this 
(via DBUS) to the GStreamer application.  The GStreamer application then 
either starts a new pipeline, or adds an fdsink to the running pipeline.

 I could send you the PHP script, but I don't think it's very reuseable.  If 
you need inspiration, though...

 Regards,
 Arnout
