On certain systems, tracks do not play via SSL

Hi Daniel, thanks for writing SqueezeCloud - I listen to a lot of SoundCloud playlists and mixes on my Squeezebox.

I noticed recently that SqueezeCloud tries to retrieve a track's audio via HTTP even when it gets an HTTPS scheme in a 302 redirect. I'm guessing it's from commit https://github.com/danielvijge/SqueezeCloud/commit/1b63544f732181289b88dc36e02e8ab310accaad .

Here's the log output:

https://soundcloud.com/dieselboy/dieselboy-the-destroyer is the corresponding SoundCloud page. Did you try forcing http because https wasn't working on some clients? Is there anything I can do to help with this?

I think this message on the Squeezebox forum, explains the situation best: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?92723-Soundcloud-plugin-for-squeezeserver&p=791261&viewfull=1#post791261

I did upload a test version, where peer verification can be disabled, but it does not seem to work for people affected by that problem. For HTTPS streaming, there is no solution yet. If you want to help, that would be great. But from what I understand, it's a LMS problems, not a plugin problem.

Gotcha. Thanks, Daniel. If it's an LMS problem, I don't really have time or energy to dive into it right now. I appreciate the explanation, though!
