After upgrading soup, can no longer connect to daap share via libdmapsharing: 'libsoup-CRITICAL **: soup_uri_new_with_base: assertion `base == NULL || SOUP_URI_IS_VALID (base)' failed'

[Jamie Strandboge]

After upgrading to libsoup2.4-1 (2.37.5-0ubuntu1) I can no longer connect to daap music shares with libdmapsharing applications like rhythmbox. Eg starting rhythmbox in debugging mode

$ rhythmbox -d

I thought it might be the '//server-info' in the URL, but I recompiled a test version of libdmapsharing to not have the extra '/' and it still fails:

Downgrading to libsoup2.4 2.36.1-1ubuntu1, it works:

This should be fixed by a future version of libsoup. See:
