This issue was highlighted when OP remarked that URLs played when using
ffmpeg to transcode. Not sure what UA ffmpeg uses.
The unobfuscated test URL I used also work with wget which has a user
agent string of "Wget/1.20.3" So is Mixcloud agnostic except for iTunes
!! Perhaps iTunes has a special deal with Mixcloud.
Code:
--------------------
---request begin---
GET
/secure/c/m4a/64/2/6/0/6/442f-d95a-4b49-a3a1-8c1c59ed1186.m4a?sig=oP6RGk-Bo-2rKvOpYVPOTQ
HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Wget/1.20.3 (linux-gnu)
Accept: */*
Accept-Encoding: identity
Host: stream6.mixcloud.com
Connection: Keep-Alive
---request end---
--------------------
I've come across a one or two other podcast sites where "iTunes" in a UA
blocked the request.
Without real thought - I think a preference at plugin level (e.g. maybe
a register type function) might be the most flexible.
