A more descriptive name would be nice.

Just return ret. No need for this goto.

const char*

av_malloc()

Also, check the return value for allocation failure.

Is fulluri going to be used after this call? If not, then it should be 
local to this function as there's no need to have it in h->priv_data 
(And for that matter, you're not freeing fulluri anywhere).

You need to define a whitelist including https in both URLProtocol below.

Same comments as above apply here.
