[MPlayer-dev-eng] support https: URLs

[Mark Glines]

Hi,

I spent some time today, and hacked together a patch for mplayer to 
support https:// URLs.  It works for me, I can stream an mp3 file from a 
web server over ssl.  Please consider applying it.

Since the http-streaming code in mplayer wants to manipulate file 
descriptors directly, it was not easy to convert mplayer to use the 
libssl calls (SSL_read(), SSL_write() and so forth) instead of the 
native send/recv calls.  So instead, I just forked off a helper process 
to shovel data between libssl and mplayer.  It communicates with mplayer 
using a socket (created with socketpair), so the normal API still works 
on the mplayer side of things.
