[PLUGIN-MOVE] move souphttpsrc from -bad to -good
Last modified: 2008-04-12 23:35:13 UTC
Due to massive popular demand by slomo, I've opened this bug to request migration of this fine plug-in to the elated state of "good."
As can be seen from what Wouter has written I'm all for it. The docs are fine, the code too and the unit test seems to be fine too. Only problem I see is that libsoup or gnutls gives a million valgrind warnings but from what I see there are no warnings caused by bugs in the souphttpsrc element. I'd propose to move it to -good for the next release and give it GST_RANK_PRIMARY to get it prefered over gnomevfssrc. It has all features (and more) gnomevfssrc has (for http) and works fine for me since some time without any problems.
Bug #523854 has to be fixed before definitely :)
Also this should be fixed until April 11th, otherwise it can only move for the releases afterwards ;)
Ok, in Debian we use souphttpsrc as the default http src now since yesterday (if someone installs the -bad package). Let's see how things go in Debian, that should get us some wider testing now ;)
Still no single reported bug, IMHO we should really get it into -good for next release and make it the primary http source.
Move done in CVS
