YouTube is failing to download poster images for videos

Fixed

Description

Copied from https://lf-automotivelinux.atlassian.net/browse/SPEC-1870:

Regarding the first issue, YouTube is failing to download poster images for videos. 

YouTube is a heavy application for network and it sends a lot of request(> 35)t to a remote server for various resources. YouTube App was taking a long time to receive a response from the server.

> Enable remote debugging using chrome dev tool :

then on your desktop browser connect to

After increasing the number of a tinyproxy process instance(to 10) in tinyproxy.confyoutube app started loading video smoothly. MaxClients = 10, MinSpareServers = 5, MaxSpareServers = 20, StartServers = 10

On EEL, it was working fine with existing setting MaxClients = 1,  StartServers = 1. That is a reason, changes for YouTube app are not merged in the wam-tinyproxy repository. Moreover, it doesn't make sense to a created unnecessary lot of tinyproxy for simple applications.

This task needs to be revisited and analyzed further.

Setting MaxClients to 1 serializes all connections from web apps, making YouTube unusable. We need to further check why this was working on eel. Also, if having so many tinyproxy processes running is an issue, we should enhance tinyproxy to handle requests using threads.

For the time being, I'm proposing to revert the settings patch in https://github.com/Igalia/wam-tinyproxy/pull/4.
