HLS stream calls inner playlist with default port 80 instead of provided one in master playlist URL

[zarej]

When I enter the HLS URL with port 443 it tries to reach the same inner HLS URL with port 80. I have 2 Nginx reverse proxies configured in front of the target URL stream. Also, this URL works with ffplay and mplayer but with VLC it shows 404 because port it is trying to reach port 80 instead of 443. Bellow is debugging log output I just replaced IP with 20.20.20.20. This is a problem with all VLC versions that I tried including the Android one.

If some of VLC developers can point me maybe some Nginx reverse proxy headers are missing? It works with the other players so for me looks like it is a bug in VLC. I can provide URL for testing in private message.

Looks like the problem was port 443 and http. When I switched stream to port 8080 it started to work.

Looks like VLC cannot do playback stream with http protocol on port 443.
