HTTPS network stream with authentication

[loosper]

I have an nginx setup with HLS streaming with basic authentication. When i enter the URL vlc correctly prompts for username/password, but nothing happens. In the messages tab I get

Code: Select all

adaptive error: Failed reading https://example.com:443/hls/stream-942.ts: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized

for every fragment. I use VLC versin 3.0.9 but I have tried with the 3.x and 4.x nightly builds as well.

Is there a workaround for this? Or should I look about how to report this as a bug?
