[gst-devel] How to play a file lying on localhost using gst-launch ?

[wl2776]

playbin2 discovers that you give it an HTTP url.
Then it searches through its element registry and discovers what source
elements can handle http protocol, finds one, creates its instance, sets its
location property to the uri value, 
Then it lets the source element to connect to the HTTP server, send GET
request, receive response, output received data and so on.

tcpclientsrc will not do since it expects raw data to come from the TCP
socket, but the HTTP server won't send them out without HTTP request.

You should also learn about the OSI model and where TCP and HTTP protocols
are in it.
