Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2008-04-13 10:08:30 UTC 
Hi,
it would be nice if we could give souphttpsrc PRIMARY rank for the upcoming release. This was already mentioned in the PLUGIN-MOVE bug and discussed on IRC but nothing was decided yet.

So, any opinions on this?
Comment 1 Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2008-04-13 10:14:34 UTC 
So IMHO it's save to move as we have this as the default http source in Debian since >1 month now with only a single bug reported that is fixed in CVS now. Apart from that bug we had another one filed in bugzilla that is fixed too now.

I don't think we will get any more testing unless we make it the default HTTP source in general and I don't know of any issues that are left with the current code. It works fine for me and for quite many other people it seems ;)

The advantage would be, to have a lightweight HTTP source element with all features one would expect and without the overhead of gnome-vfs. Also seeking and error handling is much better with soup than it would be possible with gnome-vfs.

        * ext/soup/gstsouphttpsrc.c: (plugin_init):
        Give souphttpsrc GST_RANK_PRIMARY to make it the default HTTP source
        over gnome-vfs and everything else. Fixes bug #527848.
