http-server: Invalid JSON syntax in response for pipeline-element's details

[wetterfrosch]

When querying the JSON of an element via the http-server an invalid JSON returns.

GET http://<host>:<port>/pipelines/<pipeline>/elements/<element>/

Firefox warns immediately:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected double-quoted property name at line 69 column 7 of the JSON data

When looking at the section the ],{-party already seems a bit wrong:

                "access" : "((GstdParamFlags) READ | 224)"
            }
        }
    ],{
    "element_properties" : [
        {
            "name" : "name",
            "value" : "x264enc",

Correct bracketing should likely look like this:

                    "access": "((GstdParamFlags) READ | 224)"
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "element_properties": [
        {
            "name": "name",
            "value": "x264enc",

while removing a } in the very end of the output.

Thank you by the way for this great tool! :)

took me a bit to find out how to use the http interface, but yes i can replicate that as well:

root@jeteye# curl http://192.168.3.7:5001/pipelines/p0/elements/autovideosink0 | jq .
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 12810  100 12810    0     0  6254k      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 6254k
parse error: Objects must consist of key:value pairs at line 409, column 1

It looks like there already is something in the code that tries to fix this, but maybe the bracket in the part-json that is returned isn't at expected location ?

or we need to also remove a leading brace from the internal json.
