Does GStreamer support playback over http through a proxy?

[Joseph Dougherty]

Hello,

  I have been introduced to GStreamer through the Pithos project (
https://github.com/pithos/pithos). I've come across an issue where
GStreamer cannot connect to an HTTP URI to playback an audio file when I am
on a private network and need to connect through an HTTP proxy. I have
tried the following two methods:

    gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=[myURI]


  gst-launch -v souphttpsrc location=[url] proxy=[myproxy]


For each attempt, I have defined the `http_proxy` environment variable. In
both cases, GStreamer is unable to connect to the server to playback the
file. The first command works when I am not behind the proxy, the second
one doesn't but I am not so certain about the syntax on that command.

Does GStreamer support HTTP proxies, and if so, what might I be doing
incorrectly?


Thank you for your assistance.



Joseph
