Hi,

I'm sorry for the late reply, but time available for open hacking is

So my first though is that either the file is corrupted or it's not in
the proper folder where lighttpd is assumed to search for it.
Obviously, I don't have any empirical grounds to base my assertion
onto ;).

Unfortunately, souphttpsrc appears not to use SoupLogger
(http://library.gnome.org/devel/libsoup/stable/SoupLogger.html). In
the past I've been debugging http-related issues by manually adding
the logging stuff (should be pretty simpler, something like
soup_logger_new, soup_logger_attach and an handler) and
recompiling/running the test with the brand new logging.

OT: I never really understood why the logger is not configured
depending on the verbosity of GST_DBUG for the element.. is it the
case to file a bug?

Unfortunately, I could not find the file in the attachments. Maybe it
has been filtered out by the list...

Bugs against GStreamer are filed in Gnome Bugzilla (search for
Desktop/GStreamer component). Please attach both a working file and a
broken one (possibly both short in length).
