[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/http: Do not try to make a new request when seeking past the end of the file

From: Justin Ruggles <justin.ruggles at gmail.com>

This avoids making invalid HTTP Range requests for a byte range past the
known end of the file during a seek. Those requests generally return a HTTP
response of 416 Range Not Satisfiable, which causes an error response.
