[FFmpeg-devel] Location header to be ignored with status code 200 (and others)

[Armin Hasitzka]

Hi guys,

sorry for dumping this here with HTML formatting (haven't yet figured out
how to turn it off in Gmail); we ran into a weird HLS playlist today that
sends a malformed location header together with a 200 status code (which is
a misconfiguration on a client's system but cannot be changed). A quick dig
shows that location headers are to be ignored in combination with anything
else but a 201 or 3xx (
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Location) thus we
patched our FFmpeg version as attached. We further believe that this patch
should be applied to FFmpeg for everyone - please let us know what you
think.

Thanks
Armin
