### Description of your *issue*, suggested solution and other information

Trying to save this hls file using Ubuntu and I get a 403 forbidden, although the file opens initially.  Using windows however, the command works as expected.

Not sure if this is a glitch or I am doing something wrong.

Thank you for looking.
