[FFmpeg-user] http hangs, https not, following ubuntu build from scratch.

[James Northrup]

I have been having to wrap http in -i <( curl URL) using head ffmpeg on
ubuntu 19

i want to know if there is a configure switch i might've used that creates
a situation where http is buggered.  i have two such ubuntu 19 machines
with similar results.
