Thanks for your answer. This pipeline does work for MJPEG (just like
the one I provided above), but does not solve the problem.

I don't have an MJPEG stream. What I have is a HTTP source that serves
individual JPEG images (one single JPEG image per HTTP request). What
I actually need is a way to have souphttpsrc (or another HTTP src) make 
additional HTTP requests periodically from the same URL. Is this 
possible? If not, can anyone suggest how this could be implemented?

Thanks,

G Rodriguez
