Package: vlc
Version: 2.0.3-5
This bug may be in package vlc-nox instead of package vlc.
VLC HTTP streaming doesn't work with HTTP proxy enabled. A 'tcpdump -A'
shows that VLC strips the path/file bit from the request. So
'http://Some_host/Some_Path/Some_File' becomes 'http://Some_host:80'
The squid proxy server access log confirms this.
An exception is using an IPv6 address instead of a hostname. When using
'http://[IPv6_Addres]/Some_Path/Some_File' VLC will bypass the proxy and
work correctly. This is odd since my proxy is dual stack and a tcpdump
shows that VLC requests both it's IPv4 and IPv6 address. In fact, it uses
IPv6.
I'm using Debian stable with Linux version 3.2.0-4-686-pae
