@table @option
- Override User-Agent header. If not specified the protocol will use a
- string describing the libavformat build.
+@item seekable
+Control seekability of connection. If set to 1 the resource is
+supposed to be seekable, if set to 0 it is assumed not to be seekable,
+if set to -1 it will try to autodetect if it is seekable. Default
+value is -1.
+
+@item chunked_post
+If set to 1 use chunked transfer-encoding for posts, default is 1.

+value must be a string encoding the headers.
+
+@item content_type
+Force a content type.
+
+@item user-agent
-Override the User-Agent header. If not specified a string of the form
-"Lavf/<version>" will be used.
+ @item user_agent
++Override the User-Agent header. If not specified the protocol will use a
++string describing the libavformat build. ("Lavf/<version>")
+
+@item multiple_requests
+Use persistent connections if set to 1. By default it is 0.
