GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 395423
gnomevfssrc lacks support for proxy servers
Last modified: 2007-01-12 14:38:05 UTC
1. properties for proxy, 2. a signal when it handles a new connection, so that the front-end can set the proxy according to the hostname being targetted This would make it possible for applications to get the proxy information from gconf and use it with the networking plugins.
Implementation Suggestion from Wingo: Could be a vmethod on the GstURIHandler interface
It already does get the info from GConf, as gnome-vfs does it.
but wouldn't it be better if all the GStreamer src elements worked the same way? cause I assume currently you have to special case the gnome-vfs plugin unless it also expose the same property?
I don't see why you would want to reproduce that. There's no API to set the proxy in gnome-vfs anyway, as it gets its data directly from GConf.
