Transparent http Proxy Cache problem
Last modified: 2008-09-15 14:37:04 UTC
Kevin Hawkins and I have been having problems listening to Virgin radio using the Shoutcase plugin. Our ISP, NTL, uses transparent proxies that somehow seem to corrupt the stream. Attached is a patch that allows a proxy server to be specified for remote streams. At the moment the proxy server is hardwired, could someone with the right know how add this in as a server preference? I also don't know if this setting should get used anywhere else in the server? I did think it would be good to automatically set the proxy option for the LWP module, so all plugins would use this proxy setting as well.
Created attachment 23 [details] Patch, but without server configuration options
The latest nightly has a setting for the proxy added, thanks in part to the patch. Try it out and post your feedback. Thanks!
Created attachment 24 [details] Patch to set proxy in LWP
Works lovely. Kevin has tried it as well, works for him to. Having a look at the code (now I have something to grep for to see where the changes went!) I thought it would be good to proxy all LWP web requests as well. So the attached patch will do this - BUT the slimserver seems to need to be restarted for this to take full effect :(.
Also I've just tried to enter a proxy by hostname, rather than IP. This gets bounced on the validation. Any chance to make this accept the hostname as well?
I just checked in svn change 1824 that allows hostnames as well as IP addresses.
There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006. I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.
