 Hello.

 The "-user-agent" option is ignored after the initial connection to an HLS
 server.

 When running this command line:
 ffmpeg -user-agent myuseragent http://someserver/playlist.m3u8 -c copy -

 I get this network dump for the initial connection to someserver:

 GET /playlist.m3u8 HTTP/1.1.
 User-Agent: myuseragent
 ...


 But in the (automated) consecutive connections (after the initial .ts
 segments are consumed) I see this:

 GET /playlist.m3u8 HTTP/1.1.
 User-Agent: Lavf54.3.100.
 ...


 Which means that the custom user-agent option is somehow ignored after the
 initial connection to the server.
