-headers option not found (ffmpeg 3.2.2 Windows)

[Rasmus Hansen]

Summary of the bug:
I am trying to add a custom http header when streaming to a http server by using the -headers option.

using ​http://user:password@localhost:8082/stream1 does not work either (no "Authorization" header is added to the request).
Is the -headers option not supported on Windows? Or am I doing something totally wrong here?

How to reproduce:

C:\github\video\src\server>ffmpeg -headers "a:b" -i cropped.ts http://localhost:8082/stream1

For future tickets: Please always test current FFmpeg git head before reporting issues, if you believe anything is unclear on the Zeranoe download page, please tell us! (There is no release support for Windows.)

You are specifying a (non-existing) option -header for the input file cropped.ts, invalid options for input files are not accepted.

[Rasmus Hansen]

Ahhh - so by putting the option before the -i, I made it an option for the input file.

I moved it so it now says

ffmpeg -i cropped.ts -headers "a:b" http://localhost:8082/stream1

And it works. Thank you for the hint! And sorry for being so nooby :-)
