I am trying to download a blob video that is playing in my browser:

 ffmpeg -i 'https://example.com/playlist.m3u8?cred=abcd' -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc \              
    -vcodec copy -c copy -crf 50 file.mp4

I get the error

https @ 0x11fe2ade0] HTTP error 403 Forbidden [hls @ 0x11fe05610] Failed to open an initialization section in playlist 0 Error when loading first segment 'https://example.com/s2q1.m4s'

Indeed, when I open https://example.com/s2q1.m4s I get 403 forbidden in browser. However, if I add https://example.com/s2q1.m4s?cred=abcd , I get no error.

I get the same behaviour with youtube-dl

So how to make ffmpeg or youtube-dl append whatever query parameter in the input url in all subsequent requests ?
