Bug#440257: Error when streaming an HTTP URL which requires authorization

[Alain Kalker]

Package: totem-xine
Version: 2.18.2-2
Severity: normal

Opening an URL like "http://example.com/example.mp3" which requires
authorization will pop up the username/password dialog, but even when
valid username and password are entered, Totem gives the error message:
"Totem could not play 'http://example.com/example.mp3'. The server
refused access to this file or stream. Specifying the URL as
"http://user:password@example.com/example.mp3" works correctly.

Hunting around with a packet sniffer reveals that in both cases the
"Authorization: Basic" header is transmitted correctly, but in the case
of the error, only the first (few) packets of the stream are received,
but nothing gets played back.
