[gst-devel] [souphttpsrc] Proxy authentication not working

[Ron McOuat]

Thanks for filling in more details Thomas. I need to work on this to 
isolate the problem to either souphttpsrc or the soup library. There has 
been activity lately in libsoup related to proxy handling update 2.27.2 
in the page at  
http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/opensuse/factory/i586/libsoup-2_4-1-2.27.92-1.1.i586.html
shows some details.

If you have the resources (time and programs loaded) it would be good if 
you could capture a tcpdump or wireshark session with filtering set to 
capture packets between your system and the proxy and then try the 
gst-launch. You can send that result to my email if you are okay with that.

Thanks
Ron
