Implemented Interfaces

GstCurlHttpSrc implements GstURIHandler.

Description

This plugin reads data from a remote location specified by a URI, when the protocol is 'http' or 'https'.

It is based on the cURL project (http://curl.haxx.se/) and is specifically designed to be also used with nghttp2 (http://nghttp2.org) to enable HTTP/2 support for GStreamer. Your libcurl library MUST be compiled against nghttp2 for HTTP/2 support for this functionality. HTTPS support is dependent on cURL being built with SSL support (OpenSSL/PolarSSL/NSS/GnuTLS).

An HTTP proxy must be specified by URL. If the "http_proxy" environment variable is set, its value is used. The “proxy” property can be used to override the default.

Example launch line

1
 
gst-launch-1.0 curlhttpsrc location=http://127.0.1.1/index.html ! fakesink dump=1
The above pipeline reads a web page from the local machine using HTTP and dumps it to stdout. 
1
 
gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=http://rdmedia.bbc.co.uk/dash/testmpds/multiperiod/bbb.php
The above pipeline will start up a DASH streaming session from the given MPD file. This requires GStreamer to have been built with dashdemux from gst-plugins-bad.
