 If ffmpeg is passed a http(s) input stream with options "-reconnect_at_eof
 1 -reconnect_streamed 1", it will reconnect endlessly when the stream
 reach eof.
 This is very useful for some iptv streams that require this.

 However, if the input URL passed on the commandline return a http code 302
 and a redirect URL, the subsequent reconnections happen on the redirect
 URL and not the original URL input URL.
 This can make reconnect fail for some http servers sending a different
 redirect URL on each connection. Thus the original URL passed on the
 command line should always be used to reconnect, handling the redirect
 again.

 I do not have a test stream to give to illustrate this, but this should
 not be difficult to grasp.
