Please review the following: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~almatvee/8159869/webrev.00/ Reviewers: ddehaven This is regression from JDK-8091132. HLS playlist with media segments which has full URLs no longer works. This happens, because of incorrect check if segments in playlist have full URL. Due to this bug we were adding base URL to already full URL and thus downloading failed. 8u fix is the same.

A complete test case is required to investigate the issue.
