Hi I am trying to use extra-headers with souphttpsrc from cli.
I found this example
gst-launch-1.0 -v souphttpsrc extra-headers=\"extra-headers\,\ HeaderFieldOne\=\(string\)Android\/2.3.15\,\ HeaderFieldTwo\=\(string\)Test\" location=http://static.polskieradio.pl/159a55d7-a4b5-4adc-aaff-a33a814c7320.mp3\?source\=MAIN_PLAYER_PR_V2 ! mpegaudioparse ! mpg123audiodec ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! autoaudiosink
I want to add following header
{'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.19 Safari/537.36'}
Which results in following string
\ User-Agent\=\(string\)Mozilla/5.0\/(Windows\/NT\/10.0;\/Win64;\/x64)\/AppleWebKit/537.36\/(KHTML,\/like\/Gecko)\/Chrome/91.0.4472.19\/Safari/537.36\
I wrote a small snippet of python to try to encode headers myself
key = 'User-Agent'
value = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.19 Safari/537.36'
string = f" \ {key}\=\(string\){value.replace(' ', '\/')}\\"
print(string)
But after inserting inside command looks like that but it throws:
bash: syntax error near unexpected token ('`
gst-launch-1.0 -v souphttpsrc extra-headers=\"extra-headers\,\ User-Agent\=\(string\)Mozilla/5.0\/(Windows\/NT\/10.0;\/Win64;\/x64)\/AppleWebKit/537.36\/(KHTML,\/like\/Gecko)\/Chrome/91.0.4472.19\/Safari/537.36\,\ HeaderFieldTwo\=\(string\)Test\" location=http://static.polskieradio.pl/159a55d7-a4b5-4adc-aaff-a33a814c7320.mp3\?source\=MAIN_PLAYER_PR_V2 ! mpegaudioparse ! mpg123audiodec ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! autoaudiosink
I’ve also tried using standard bash escaping using this but it also didn’t help
How the escaping works?
