If you are programming a cli, where blocking is fine, something like
this should do (untested):

g_autoptr(GError) error = NULL;
g_autoptr(GstDiscoverer) disc = NULL;
g_autoptr(GstDiscovererInfo) info = NULL;
GstClocktime duration;

dis = gst_discoverer_new (30 * GST_SECOND, &error);
g_assert_no_error (error);
info = gst_discoverer_discover_uri (dis, "http://myuri", &error);
g_assert_no_error (error);

duration = gst_discoverer_info_get_duration (info);
