Resolves #6075
Request the input URL using Streamlink's webbrowser API as a fallback mechanic, in case Bloomberg rejects the initial HTTP request being made using the regular HTTPSession. After successfully falling back to the webbrowser API, the user's IP address appears to be whitelisted, so subsequent requests can be made without having to use the webbrowser API.
Log output from yesterday when I fully replaced the initial HTTP request. It's now kept though and the webbrowser API is only used as a fallback.
@7k50, @DeltaEpsilon19498 please check... As said, they appear to whitelist your IP address for a certain amount of time when accessing their site regularly from your web browser. What I'm looking for is a debug log output where the fallback does work correctly. So please help me with this.
