[generic] Allow parsing when first 512 bytes are whitespace

Browse Source 
is_html(first_bytes) will fail if the first 512 bytes of the URL are
all whitespace, for some weird reason. Such a case probably is not a
direct video link, the case we're concerned about downloading
inadvertently, since that wouldn't be a valid video binary file
format.

But it's still peculiar, so don't silently ignore it -- print a
warning and continue on.
