I think what you must try to do is reopen the stream at the protocol level,
not at the demuxer level: call avio_open on the pb field of your format
context (after closing it, of course). It may work or not, depending on how
much the protocol and the demuxer are tied; you may need to re-seek to the
place the context was, too.

Please also note that this question is not about developing ffmpeg but
developing with ffmpeg libraries, and as such you were supposed to post on
libav-user at ffmpeg.org.
