Description
Some corporate proxies sometimes issue an HTTP 307 error (temporary redirect); a webbrowser would display an informational page ("please wait") and then the browser follows the redirection, and downloads the file.
In the case of flashls, apparently it's not being followed (at all), resulting in the stream being unplayable (error is "An error occured: Cannot load M3U8: crossdomain access denied: Error #2048) The resource is unavailable or unreachable"). Basically, i suspect flash/flashls to handle 307 like a 404 instead of a 301 (if supported).
Can you let me know if that's handled by flashls itself or at flash level ? Is HTTP 301 currently supported ?
