 I'm trying to play a stream like the following:
 http://example.com/proxy.php?u=http://realhost.com/session/xxx/index.m3u8

 The resulting m3u8 file looks like this:
 {{{
 #EXTM3U
 #EXT-X-VERSION:3
 #EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:4
 #EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1438367455
 #EXTINF:4.000,
 1438367455.ts
 #EXTINF:4.000,
 1438367456.ts
 #EXTINF:4.000,
 1438367457.ts
 #EXTINF:4.000,
 1438367458.ts
 }}}

 The problem is that ffmpeg doesn't stay on the complete url but instead
 downloads the file and than generates the new chunks like:
 http://realhost.com/session/xxx/1438367455.ts

 Obviously this won't work. So I want to request a command line arg like '
 --webproxy' which would include the full original url like this:
 http://example.com/proxy.php?u=http://realhost.com/session/xxx/1438367455.ts

 VLC can handle this type of urls already without problems but my software
 uses ffmpeg.

 (I used the latest build ffmpeg version N-79173-gbe746ae for testing and
 also older versions)

 Thanks in advance!
