youtube-dl download in HTTPS mode

[shaybracha]

download from :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EAuQynsKNg

youtube-dl -f 133 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EAuQynsKNg

when open sniffer the first SYN from client is for port 444 (https) instead port 80

This behavior not depend on which URL i'm download

I'm using last version

Thanks

Yes, for Youtube videos we default to https (although the video is actually download over normal http, see #933). I think that's a good decision. Is there any reason why you would prefer to not use https?

Hi

I need to capture the request with port 80
actually,what i have seen is that not all downloads over HTTPs

Is there any version which download over HTTP,or you can advice how could i switch to http?
this is very important to me!

Thanks

You can use the --print-traffic option to print the requests info.
Or you could edit the youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py and change all the https to http.
