Encrypted HLS segments have regular http:// urls, but open_input()
actually prefixes them with crypto+ before calling open_url(), so
they end up using the crypto protocol and not the http protocol.
This means invoking ff_http_do_new_request will fail, so we avoid
calling it in the first place. After the earlier http.c commit,
the failure results in a warning printed to the user. In earlier
versions, the failure would cause a segfault.

Some http/1.0 implementations, like python's SimpleHTTPServer, can only support one client connection at a time. Making a second request while the first is still connected leads to a deadlock.
This change enables multiple connections for http/1.1 servers only, which need to support keepalive by default and should have no problem with concurrent requests.

Fixes compile error when building with network or protocols disabled.
This code would never be reached (because the demuxer fails much earlier on http playlists or segments), so it doesn't matter much what we do here as long as it compiles.

AVERROR_EOF is an internal error which means the http socket is no longer
valid for new requests. It informs the caller that a new connection must
be established, and as such does not need to be surfaced to the user as
a warning.

This improves network throughput of the hls demuxer by avoiding
the latency introduced by downloading segments one at a time.
The problem is particularly noticable over high-latency network
connections: for instance, if RTT is 250ms, there will a 250ms idle
period between when one segment response is read and the next one
starts.
The obvious solution to this is to use HTTP pipelining, where a
second request can be sent (on the persistent http/1.1 connection)
before the first response is fully read. Unfortunately the way the
http protocol is implemented in avformat makes implementing pipleining
very complex.
Instead, this commit simulates pipelining using two separate persistent
http connections. This has the advantage of working independently of
the http_persistent option, and can be used with http/1.0 servers as
well. The pair of connections is swapped every time a new segment starts
downloading, and a request for the next segment is sent on the secondary
connection right away. This means the second response will be ready and
waiting by the time the current response is fully read.

This teaches the HLS demuxer to use the HTTP protocols
multiple_requests=1 option, to take advantage of "Connection:
Keep-Alive" when downloading playlists and segments from the HLS server.
With the new option, you can avoid TCP connection and TLS negotiation
overhead, which is particularly beneficial when streaming via a
high-latency internet connection.
Similar to the http_persistent option recently implemented in hlsenc.c

This reduces the attack surface of local file-system
information leaking.
It prevents the existing exploit leading to an information leak. As
well as similar hypothetical attacks.
Leaks of information from files and symlinks ending in common multimedia extensions
are still possible. But files with sensitive information like private keys and passwords
generally do not use common multimedia filename extensions.
It does not stop leaks via remote addresses in the LAN.
The existing exploit depends on a specific decoder as well.
It does appear though that the exploit should be possible with any decoder.
The problem is that as long as sensitive information gets into the decoder,
the output of the decoder becomes sensitive as well.
The only obvious solution is to prevent access to sensitive information. Or to
disable hls or possibly some of its feature. More complex solutions like
checking the path to limit access to only subdirectories of the hls path may
work as an alternative. But such solutions are fragile and tricky to implement
portably and would not stop every possible attack nor would they work with all
valid hls files.
Developers have expressed their dislike / objected to disabling hls by default as well
as disabling hls with local files. There also where objections against restricting
remote url file extensions. This here is a less robust but also lower
inconvenience solution.
It can be applied stand alone or together with other solutions.

Commit 04964ac311 ("avformat/hls: Fix missing streams in some
cases with MPEG TS") caused a regression where subdemuxer streams that
use probing (e.g. dts/eac3/mp2 in mpegts) no longer get probed properly.
This is because the codec parameters from the subdemuxer stream, once
probed, are not passed on to the main stream.
Fix that by updating the codec parameters if the codec id changes.

HLS demuxer calls the subdemuxer avformat_find_stream_info() while
overriding the subdemuxer AVFMTCTX_NOHEADER flag by clearing it.
However, this prevents some streams in some MPEG TS streams from being
detected properly.
Simply removing the clearing of the flag would cause the inner
avformat_find_stream_info() call to take longer in some cases, without
a way to control it.
To fix the issue, do not clear the flag but propagate it to HLS demuxer.
To avoid the above-mentioned mandatory delay, the call to
avformat_find_stream_info() is dropped except in the HLS ID3 timestamped
case. The HLS demuxer user should be calling avformat_find_stream_info()
on the HLS demuxer if it wants to find the stream info.
The main streams are now created dynamically after read_header time if
the subdemuxer uses AVFMTCTX_NOHEADER (mpegts).
Subdemuxer avformat_find_stream_info() is still called for the HLS ID3
timestamped case as the HLS demuxer needs to know the packet durations
to properly interleave ID3 timestamped streams with MPEG TS streams on
sub-segment level.
Fixes ticket #4930.
Creation of main demuxer streams from subdemuxer streams is moved to
update_streams_from_subdemuxer() which can be called repeatedly.
There should be no functional changes.
Commit 81306fd4bdf ("hls: eliminate ffurl_* usage", merged in d0fc5de3a6)
changed the hls demuxer to use AVIOContext instead of URLContext for its
HTTP requests.
HLS demuxer uses the "offset" option of the http demuxer, requesting
the initial file offset for the I/O (http URLProtocol uses the "Range:"
HTTP header to try to accommodate that).
However, the code in libavformat/aviobuf.c seems to be doing its own
accounting for the current file offset (AVIOContext.pos), with the
assumption that the initial offset is always zero.
HLS demuxer does an explicit seek after open_url to account for cases
where the "offset" was not effective (due to the URL being a local file
or the HTTP server not obeying it), which should be a no-op in case the
file offset is already at that position.
However, since aviobuf.c code thinks the starting offset is 0, this
doesn't work properly.
This breaks retrieval of ranged media segments.
To fix the regression, just drop the seek call from the HLS demuxer when
the HTTP(S) protocol is used.
This reverts commit 9f9ed79d4c.
The hlsopts member was never set anywhere and always NULL, furthermore
the HLS demuxer needs to retrieve the proper options from the underlying
http protocol (cookies, user-agent, etc), so a dummy context won't help.
Instead, use the AVIOContext directly to access the options.
Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.
This also deprecates our old duplicated callbacks.
