[Libav-user] avconv http custom headers are ignored

[video-server]

hello

i have a ip camera that requires cookies to return jpg image
the following syntax is my attempt to add cookies to headers

avconv -v debug -nostats -analyzeduration 0 -f image2 -loop 1 -i 
http://ip/snap.jpg -headers $'Cookie: pwdid=admin; usrid=admin\r\n' 
-vsync vfr -s 640x480 -f mpjpeg -vcodec mjpeg -b 8000k -vf 
drawtext=fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf:fontsize=15:text='%F 
%T ip':fontcolor=red -

(output to stdout,redirected to file)

but the problem is, i see in wireshark that only the default headers get 
sent to ip camera

GET /snap.jpg HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Lavf53.21.1
Accept: */*
Range: bytes=0-
Connection: close
Host: ip

could anyone please help me find out why this doesn't work?

my distro is debian squeeze, libav-tools from debian-backports

thank you

Mike
