 You'd need to modify souphttpsrc to support this.  We wouldn't want to have 
the souphttpsrc element reconnect by default after the video ends, of course, 
so it should be indicated with a property.

 Implementing this is unfortunately non-trivial, because of the multithread 
behaviour of souphttpsrc.  In the gst_soup_http_src_got_body_cb() and 
gst_soup_http_src_finished_cb(), you need to re-send the message rather than 
sending EOS.  You can try to set src->read_position to 0 and src->retry to 
TRUE, but I'm afraid it won't be that simple...

 Regards,
 Arnout
