   Meuuh (who, need I repeat it, got his new Ti this week) wrote the
HTTP plugin, and it works with the aforementioned syntax.

   But HTTP streaming is not UDP broadcasting, for instance the server
port has no real meaning in UDP, whereas the client port is important in
UDP but not in HTTP. Hence the slightly different syntax.
