ill change it

the problem with default-disabled is that the user needs to know
1. that the option exist
2. what the option does
3. what an attacker can do with such urls
4. that its not enabled by default

OTOH if its enabled by default, the worst it can do is fail with a error
the user can lookup the error and disable the option

but i may be missing something here, also comments both from people
who regularly work with hls and anything else contaning urls in files
and also people who dealt with any related attacks is welcome.

The goal is that this actually does something useful in reality.

thx
