Can't use "-chunked_post 0" with HTTP HLS POST

[Jeremy GARROUSTE]

Summary of the bug:

can't disable the chunked transfert encoding POST with HLS HTTP output using the "-chunked_post 0" option. Tested with FFmpeg 1.0.6 and 2013-04-10 static build from ​http://ffmpeg.gusari.org/static/32bit/

How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg -v 99 -f lavfi -i 'testsrc [out0] ; aevalsrc=sin(440*2*PI*t)[out1]' -pix_fmt yuv420p  -map 0 -f segment -segment_format mpegts -segment_list playlist.m3u8 -segment_list_flags +live -segment_time 10 -codec:a libfaac -codec:v libx264 -flags -global_header -b:v 700k -r:a 44k -b:a 96k -chunked_post 0 http://localhost/%d.ts

HTTP headers with a simple nc :

% nc -l -p 80 | head -10 
POST /0.ts HTTP/1.1
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
User-Agent: Lavf54.29.104
Accept: */*
Connection: close
Host: localhost
[...]

For information, commands with "http,:chunked_post:0::://localhost/%d.ts" on output are working well :

% ffmpeg -v 99 -f lavfi -i 'testsrc [out0] ; aevalsrc=sin(440*2*PI*t)[out1]' -pix_fmt yuv420p  -map 0 -f segment -segment_format mpegts -segment_list playlist.m3u8 -segment_list_flags +live -segment_time 10 -codec:a libfaac -codec:v libx264 -flags -global_header -b:v 700k -r:a 44k -b:a 96k http,:chunked_post:0::://localhost/%d.ts 

% nc -l -p 80 | head -10 
POST /0.ts HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Lavf54.29.104
Accept: */*
Connection: close
Host: localhost
[...]

and the "-chunked_post 0" option is working well with non-HLS streams.

% ffmpeg -v 99 -f lavfi -i 'testsrc [out0] ; aevalsrc=sin(440*2*PI*t)[out1]' -chunked_post 0  http://localhost/test.ts

% nc -l -p 80 | head -10

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

This is a duplicate of ticket #1291: Options are not forwarded from the hls muxer to the file muxer.

[anonymous_coward]

This appears to be an issue still. I don't believe it was a duplicate of #1291, since that was related to the demuxer, and this is related to the muxer.

chunked_post option is not respected - chunked transfer encoding is used regardless.

Command line: ffmpeg -loglevel info -re -stream_loop -1 -i /bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal.mp4 -c copy -f hls -hls_time 5 -hls_flags delete_segments -hls_list_size 2 -method POST -chunked_post 0 http://127.0.0.1:8080/upload/stream.m3u8
