Possible too, indeed.

I have tried to implement something like that, but I was stopped pretty
soon: what if the protocol do not support it? Ignore the flag? Fail
preventively? Emulate it using av_url_exists?

Ignoring the flag is the easy solution, but I do not think it is acceptable,
because the presence of the flag would give a false feeling of safety to the
programmer.
