With latest iOS release (10.0.2), on Safari, the html5 video player is not sending auth session cookies to the server, so video player throws error because missing authentication.
The video player was working fine on previous version, it was sending ok the session cookies, but tested on mac simulator which runs iOS 10.0, and it sends the cookies and video plays correctly
iPhone SE, iOS 10.0.2
Tried deleting Safari history and data?
Tap Settings > Safari > Clear Website History & Data then restart the iPhone to test.
Just cleaned up, but still getting issue
i can see the network logs, those session cookies not being sent to the server when requesting the mp4 video
Attaching har (http request debug files) files and screencap where you can clearly see the differences between iOS 10.0 (with simulator) and 10.0.2 (iPhone SE real device)
HAR file with video request working, you will see session cookie is sent

HAR file with video request not working as expected, session cookie not being sent

Also you can see the differences in the user agents for the 2 different http video requests made by the video player
We have found the same issue. This happens only on hardware devices running 10.0.2.
We identified that the video player is not sending the session cookies. If you reply with a 403 code, the video player will request again, this time with cookies. However, it is still not working for us.
how did you reproduce the 403 code troubleshoot ?
On the server side, if the request was not authenticated (no cookies), a plain 403 request is "echoed" to the customer.
Right after that, we see the new request come in with the session information (cookies) and then the video is streammed out. However, the video is still not reproduced.
So we resolved the request part, but the video is not playing yet, although the content is served.
Does anyone have a solution to resolving this problem as the issue is still not fixed in iOS 10.2 Beta 4, at least formy SharePoint environment?
Still waiting for the correction!
Safari (iOS 10) cannot play video which needs session cookie based authentication
