Description Ole André Vadla Ravnås 2008-03-07 01:40:54 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Streaming from an HTTP/HTTPS or similar source is commonly done using a library like libsoup. However, when small footprint is an issue it might be useful to use features that are part of the OS/platform. This element uses wininet to accomplish this on Windows.

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:

Does this happen every time?

wininet_plugin

Written more as a proof-of-concept / fun hack than anything else, but seems to work.

        * configure.ac:
        * sys/Makefile.am:

        * sys/wininet/gstwininetsrc.h:
          Add wininetsrc for basic http/ftp support on windows (#520897).

I changed a few minor things, would be great if you could double-check that it still builds for you.

I also added configure detection logic for mingw, will see if I can find someone to make sure that works too.
