[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2] avformat/http: Add short_seek_size option

In 45bfe8b838275235412777dd430206d9a24eb3ee, short_seek_threshold was removed
from the public AVIO struct. Although this option was private and not intended
to be used by public API users, it was nonetheless, because it provided functionality
that could otherwise not be gained via public API.

This was especially important for networked I/O like HTTP, where the internal
size for lavf could be way to small depending on the specifics of a user's
usecase, such as reading interlavd media files from cloud storage.

Add an AVOption to make this functionality accessible to the HTTP client.
