Question
How are external downloader started?
I start youtube-dl with "--external-downloader curl" and I assumed, that youtube-dl starts the process "curl".
However if I redir PATH to point to my curl binary, this binary will be not started.
If I start youtube-dl with "strace -ofiles.log -F -f -s256 -e trace=file ..." no curl process will be forked.
I got no information if I start youtube-dl with "--verbose" option about external-downloader and/or curl.
Finally I patched youtube_dl/downloader/external.py and add
sys.stdout.write("*********** CURL-CMD>", cmd)
in CurlFD / _call_downloader, but didn't get any output.
