You probably don't need a program, a script that uses curl is enough for
what you describe.

This "cgi-app" is what?

Probably a script (i.e. a text file, interpreted by something else)...
so it can be easily changed (i.e. edited), and the change you want is to
replace whatever they do to download the file (playlist) to use curl.

Not clear what file is returned? The playlist, or the actual video?

If xupnpd2 is streaming the video (using the playlist), then changing
https to https is probably not going to work... xupnpd2 still ends up
trying to stream something, and not using the correct URL (but by the
way, https://github.com/clark15b/xupnpd where the code is says it added
support for SSL, so it looks like it does support https; but of course I
didn't take a closer look).

Maybe I misunderstood your description, do you mean it can't download
the playlist, but it can download the video(s) after replacing https for
http?
