Oh sure, this would be the right place. From your wording, it sounded that you 
expected some other developers to take your code and merge it to VLC.

If you want to submit the code, you should format it as a (set of) git-
formatted patches on top of VLC 1.2.0.

In any case, there are a few minor issues in my opinion:

* Seek returns VLC_SUCCESS even though it is not implemented.

* Preprocessor constants should not have trailing semi-colons.

* Indentation does not follow the VLC convention (4 white spaces).

* Source code files should not be executable.

* "https" scheme is registered, but apparently not implemented??

* You should really use net_ConnectTCP(), net_Read(), net_Write() and 
net_Close() from <vlc_network.h> instead of custom IPv4-only non-Windows 
blocking-mode socket code.


And last, I don't know how practical, but you should try to play nice with the 
"normal" HTTP plugin.

Best regards,
