ftp:// support in linux and in win32

[wl2776]

I've studied gst-inspect giosrc both in linux and in windows (Latest OSSBuild).

The comparison shows that linux giosrc supports much more uri schemes that windows one.

Linux:

$ gst-inspect giosrc
...
URI handling capabilities:
  Element can act as source.
  Supported URI protocols:
    file
    ftp
    dns-sd
    afc
    smb
    network
    trash
    davs
    dav
    computer
    davs+sd
    dav+sd
    localtest
    burn
    obex
    archive
    gphoto2
    sftp
    ssh
...

Win32, using the latest OSSBuild:

c:\> gst-inspect giosrc
...
URI handling capabilities:
  Element can act as source.
  Supported URI protocols:
    file
...

Where have all protocols gone?

$GST_PLUGINS_BASE/ext/gio/gstgio.c has the function

static gpointer
_internal_get_supported_protocols (gpointer data)

which calls g_vfs_get_supported_uri_schemes

So, is such lack of schemes caused by the fact that this Glib instance supports only file:// ?

Yes.

gio supports plugins, and on Linux, those plugins are usually provided
by gvfs.
