Comment (by jyavenard):

 Sorry, I made a mistake associating the commit ba354a8c ; that one
 introduced the https issue.

 Git bisect find that this is the culprit for the regression. I'm not 100%
 sure that it is completely the problem as git bisect often acts weird when
 working through merge with remote forks

     http: Add support for using persistent connections

     Add a new AVOption 'multiple_requests', which indicates if we want
     to use persistent connections (ie. Connection: keep-alive).

 reverting that commit gives me bus error but no av_free error. As such,
 I'm not convinced that the problem can be entirely attributed to this
 commit
