HTTP Cookies support is broken on Windows?

[happy.neko@…]

I'm trying to stream videos from gametrailers.com.
This site requires authentication to download files so I pass login/password information in cookies.txt file (Mozilla format). With windows build of mplayer (MPlayer Sherpya-SVN-r30369-4.2.5) on Windows 7 I can't play files. I think mplayer does not provide cookies in HTTP secession and because of that receives "You must be logged in to download movies." instead of media stream. Same message you get when try to access "​http://www.gametrailers.com/download/61500/t_bioshock2_officialseunbox.flv" in browser without login cookies.

With Linux build (MPlayer SVN-r30302-4.4.1) streaming works perfectly with same cookies.txt. I also tried to convert cookies.txt from Win to UNIX line breaks with the same result. Below are logs from Windows and Linux:

Fixed in SVN r30496.
It was broken on all systems where SEEK_SET != 0 (due to arguments being in the wrong order).
