Too bad it'ss in an external link (which tends to disappear after
weeks).

According to the ffmpeg logs - yes, obviously.
According to the PCAP: hmm.
Well, the command lines show port 5558:

but I don't see a single packet related to port 5558 in that PCAP file.
(Filter: tcp.port == 5888). I wonder what was captured - probably eth0
(or whatever the physical interface is called) and not lo (to which
localhost is bound). No wonder you, Glenn, don't see HTTP traffic if
you don't actually capture the ffmpeg traffic...
