Support proxy only for tunnel URL fetch, not for download

[almafazi]

describe the feature you'd like to see

Hi,

I’d like to ask if it’s possible to configure Cobalt so that the proxy is only used when fetching the tunnel URL (metadata phase), but not during the actual download.

The reason is that using a proxy for downloading large media files consumes a lot of bandwidth unnecessarily. Ideally, the proxy should be applied just for the tunnel URL fetch, while the download itself bypasses the proxy and goes directly.

Is this behavior currently supported, or could it be considered as a feature?

Thanks!

I am looking for the exact same thing (: it will be a good idea of adding it

youtube binds the download links with the IP (or block) where it was originally generated from so it wont help if you try to download the stream from any other IP

this would be a broken feature because of the reason described above
